Inside the New LEGO Store
LEGO stores are where it’s at if you’re hunting for those hard-to-find sets.
The GR LEGO Store is no different. It’s got everything you’d expect, like the Build a Minifigure stations and the Pick & Build Wall—two fan-favorite features at any LEGO Store.
And in case you’re wondering, this spot is pushing close to 3,000 square feet. That’s a whole lotta bricks to keep you entertained.
As Travis Blue, LEGO’s VP of Brand Retail Stores, puts it, shoppers and kids will get inspiration and expert guidance from the LEGO Store Brick Specialists, and that’s on top of the interactive experiences.
Hands-On Building Stations & Experiences
George Tijerina, Store Manager, is quick to point out that the LEGO Store is not “meant to be a museum.”
In addition to two building stations and a demo table (the DUPLO area for the younger crowd) employees are ready to take models out to give guests a closer look.
The store will host themed events, too. Sign up online for those experiences.
LEGO Passports
LEGO Passports are a thing at the GR store, too. Just like other LEGO stores, visitors can get their passports stamped when they visit. Different stores have different stamps, so it’s a fun way to keep track of where you’ve been.
LEGO Sets in the Store
The walls of the GR LEGO store are stocked with all of the favorites and some unique items, too, like this LEGO Radio that you build. It turns on and, if you put your phone inside, it acts as a speaker!

As mentioned, the LEGO Store is not the only attraction making its debut at Woodland Mall this summer.
