Animate Beijing, a familiar destination for anime and manga fans, will officially relocate to the Wangfujing area — the capital's busiest tourism and commercial hub. This is more than a simple move; it represents a major expansion and renovation, with the new store scheduled to open on June 26, 2026.
According to the official announcement, animate Beijing will upgrade its floor space and display areas to better serve the growing demands of young consumers and tourists. The move is expected to transform the store into a new landmark entertainment and cultural destination in the city center.
The current store is expected to close in late May 2026 to prepare for the relocation. Promotional campaigns and special events are planned throughout the transition period to attract customers. The exact location within Wangfujing has not yet been revealed, but organizers promise exciting surprises for fans.
The event has drawn widespread attention from Beijing's anime community, marking a new chapter in the brand's expansion strategy in the Chinese market.
