Disney Store Grand Opening

DISNEY STORE AT SOMERSET COLLECTION TO DONATE PORTION OF SALES TO

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF TROY ON OPENING DAY

On May 31, 2014, Disney Store will celebrate the grand opening of its newly-designed store at Somerset Collection in Troy, Michigan. To help celebrate the newest location, children from the Boys and Girls Club of Troy will enjoy a special shopping experience and Disney Store will make a donation of 10% of its merchandise sales revenue on Grand Opening day to the local chapter. Also, one lucky child from the chapter will “unlock imagination” and officially open the Somerset Collection Disney Store location at 10 a.m. on May 31. This signature opening ceremony will take place every day, giving guests an opportunity to participate in an unforgettable Disney Store experience.

Unique to the Somerset Collection location, as guests enter the store and look above, they will see a customized skyline incorporating local landmarks, classic Disney features and magical storytelling moments. The Pixie Dust Trail guides guests through “Storytelling Neighborhoods” featured on either side of the path, highlighting favorite Disney, Marvel and Star Wars characters. The Disney Princess Neighborhood is home to the Disney Princess Castle, bringing the stories of the brave, kind and adventurous Disney Princess characters to life through costumes, accessories, dolls and more.

Disney Store’s signature Magical Trees line the Pixie Dust Trail, and are an integral part of the immersive storytelling experience, with iconic characters hidden throughout the overlapping patterns of blue foliage. The Disney Store Theatre is found at the end of the Pixie Dust Trail, where guests can choose from an ever-changing library of more than 50 different clips consisting of Disney, Marvel and Star Wars film trailers, film clips, music videos, classic animation and more.

From storytelling elements woven throughout the Store design and an exclusive product assortment, to Cast Members dedicated to making every Store visit memorable, Disney Store loves ‘creating magical moments for guests of all ages.'
