News Sesame Street Store Opening Outside Sesame Place Philadelphia in 2024

Looks like Sesame Place is doing a big store out front of the park, open year-round. 6,800 sq ft of retail is going next to Oscar's Wacky Taxi. Not much other details than the official copy, here:

Sesame Place Philadelphia will introduce a new way to experience Sesame Street-themed fun with the ALL-NEW Sesame Place Store, a premier retail location, opening this Fall!

Located at the park’s entrance, the 6,800 square-foot emporium will be Sesame Place’s new flagship shop and will give guests a glimpse into the colorful, whimsical, and furry Sesame Place experience year-round, with no cost required to enter for guests looking only to shop. The Sesame Place Store will offer a large selection of merchandise, souvenirs and mementos featuring everyone’s favorite furry friends.

I think this is a good move for the park, which is already nearly year-round now due to a ton of weekend events. Makes me think a Legoland Hotel-style resort offering isn't far behind, as a small 120-to-150 room resort with a modest indoor waterpark (read: like a pool and two waterslides, plus water play area) would surely book up every weekend.

Tomorrow will be the store's grand opening.

On Sunday, October 8, Sesame Place Philadelphia will bring the fun of a classic Philly block party to the park to celebrate the grand opening of the Sesame Place Store. Guests can gather outside the Sesame Place Store. For the official ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:00am, followed by a bubble-filled dance party, games, tasty treats, and exclusive giveaways until 1:00pm. The Sesame Place Store will welcome shoppers directly following the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Looks very much like a Legoland Store. Still thinking a Resort Hotel is not too far behind.
