HOUSTON — The National Basketball Association celebrated the grand opening of its second NBA Store inside the Houston Galleria on Friday.
The new 7,500-square-foot store features a wide range of official NBA and WNBA merchandise and memorabilia, including jerseys, apparel, headwear, sporting goods, toys and other collectible items from major brands like Nike, New Era and Wilson. The store even features a customization area where fans can personalize NBA jerseys and hats for all 30 NBA teams.
"The NBA has a vibrant fanbase in Houston, and we are thrilled to bring the NBA Store to their doorstep," said Lisa Piken Koper, Head of Apparel & Sporting Goods, NBA. "Through a wide range of merchandise and interactive activations, we will deepen our ties to the Houston basketball community and find unique ways to engage our fans through a truly immersive retail experience."
The NBA Store is made possible through a partnership with Lids and Fanatics. Lids oversees the operations of the NBA Store.
"As we continue to expand our successful partnership with the NBA, opening an official NBA Store in Houston was a seamless fit," said Bob Durda, President at Lids. "Houston is an important sports market and a location that we look forward to continuing to build a first-class shopping experience for local fans and visitors alike. This official NBA Store location will provide consumers access to iconic merchandise right at their fingertips. The NBA is a valued partner of ours and we're excited about this next chapter."
The first NBA Store opened in 2015 in New York City.
