LINE FRIENDS Opens Its First Official US Store in July 2017 in Times Square, NYC
A wonderful new kind of toy store is opening in the U.S. in July 2017, right in the Big Apple in Times Square. It’s called “LINE FRIENDS” and not like any toy store you’ve ever seen. Imagine a theme park in the city filled with cute characters and foods — even desserts that look like Line Friend characters.
