[[{“value”:”

The LEGO Group has opened its first store in Mumbai, expanding its footprint in India, a little over one year after it opened its first store in India in Gurugram.

Located at the R City Mall in Ghatkopar, and launched in collaboration with the Ample Group, the new store marks the brand’s fifth in India, after opening at Ambience Mall in Gurugram, which it followed by two stores in Bengaluru and one in Chennai. 

With the opening of the store, LEGO fans in Mumbai will now have access to more than 250 sets, including sought-after products such as the LEGO Technic Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear Megacar or the LEGO Icons Arcade Pinball Machine, which are only available at the certified stores.

LEGO creates Guinness World Record in Mumbai

The launch celebrations invited LEGO fans of Mumbai to become part of history as they joined Ritam Bhatnagar, a famous adult LEGO Fan in India, in setting a Guinness World Records feat for the world’s largest LEGO brick mosaic (Multiple Panels). Built live using 738,000 bricks, each face of the cube brought iconic elements synonymous with Mumbai to life in brick form, from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link to the city’s taxis and coastline, with a “Hello Mumbai” mosaic crowning the build.

Here’s what is unique at LEGO’s first store in Mumbai

Spanning 2,310 sq. ft., the store is home to unique experiences like India’s first LEGO vertical Play Wall. Visitors can discover Mumbai-themed models and mosaics, including a Dabbawala model built with 29,000 bricks and vibrant pop-art designs inspired by local landmarks such as the Gateway of India, Marine Drive, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the iconic Kaali Peeli taxi. Inspired by Mumbai’s rich culture and creativity, the store reflects the imagination and hands-on play at the heart of the brand.

Bhavana Mandon, country manager, LEGO India said, “Mumbai was built from seven islands joined into one—a city quite literally assembled piece by piece. We could imagine no more natural home for the LEGO brand in India. We took play to the streets with a LEGO Play Truck roaming across the city, a LEGO Kaali Peeli taxi delighting passers-by, and a LEGO Metro guided fans to their destination: The LEGO store. That same playful spirit came to life inside the store through never-before-seen play experiences and brick-built tributes inspired by the city.”

Rajesh Narang, founder & CEO, Ample Group said “The launch of our first LEGO Certified Store in Mumbai is another significant milestone in Ample’s journey of bringing world-class retail experiences closer to consumers across India.”
