You probably haven't missed it, but the immensely popular Pop Mart store has opened on the Lijnbaan.
Pop Mart is a paradise for collectors of designer toys and blind boxes. Blind boxes are surprise boxes: you don't know what you're getting until you open them. And that's precisely what makes collecting so exciting. Labubu, one of Pop Mart's most popular series, was designed by Kasing Lung and has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.
This international fashion chain is coming to Rotterdam City Centre! After locations in Alexandrium Shopping Center and Zuidplein, a large new location is opening in the heart of the city. Binnenwegplein will be the new home for a shopping experience of no less than 2,800 m²!

You will find the new location in the corner building on Binnenwegplein.
The new Normal store is located on Binnenwegplein, diagonally opposite Uniqlo. You may have already come across this store on Zuidplein. The branch in Rotterdam Centre has officially opened its doors on October 11.
At Normal they sell, as the name suggests, very normal products! Items that you use every day, such as skin, hair and dental care, make-up and cleaning from well-known brands such as Colgate, Max Factor, Ajax, Gillette and L'Oreal, but also lesser-known brands or brands that are only available abroad .
Normal is known for its affordable prices, because they purchase products directly without expensive intermediaries. As a result, the store does not work with promotions or offers, but they always charge the same low prices.
Rotterdam has gained a new hotspot with the opening of the Heart Melt Bar! This trendy cocktail bar promises to melt hearts with its unique concept.
The bar distinguishes itself by its extensive cocktail menu and tropical bites, both perfectly matched. Beneath the bar is a "lab" where unique ingredients for the cocktails and bites are developed. For example, Chef Manny creates delicious bites such as bakkeljauw balls, cassava fries and pulled beef jerk.
Both the bites and cocktails are enriched with aphrodisiacs such as honey, basil and ginger. These aphrodisiac ingredients excite guests' senses and add an extra dimension to the experience.
For those who like to catch a wave: since the spring of 2024, at RiF010 you can wave surf, bodyboard, raft and surf kayak; all on the perfect waves. Prefer something quieter? Then rent a canoe or sup. It's even possible to take diving lessons, thanks to the crystal-clear water purified in the RiF010 basin.
The nice thing about the RiF010 basin is that the waves can be controlled. That's a little different from surfing in the sea. Different types of waves are generated so that every level feels at home.
After surfing, of course you want to reminisce while enjoying a drink and snack. In the moat you will therefore find a wooden beach house, containing the reception, surf shop and a surf bar. Take a seat on the covered terrace and enjoy the surfing (and falling) people in the water.
You probably already know Teds from their beautiful location on the roof of the Schieblock. They recently opened their second Rotterdam branch, this time in the middle of the centre on the Lijnbaan. You can get here from Rotterdam Central Station or Beurs in no time!
At Teds you are welcome all day for brunch. The extensive all-day menu includes eggs prepared in different ways, such as the classic Eggs Benedict. Do you prefer sweet breakfasts? Then the churro pancakes are highly recommended. Would you like an alcoholic drink? That's not weird at all for Teds. A hungover Sunday brunch naturally calls for a mimosa!
A new restaurant is always welcome! And Vegitalian is a true gem, where you can enjoy vegetarian Italian dishes according to an all-day concept.
At Vegitalian, vegetarian Mediterranean cuisine takes centre stage. Everything is prepared with quality, fresh ingredients and where possible local and/or sustainable. From Neapolitan pizzas and sandwiches, vegan pastries and richly filled pastas to colourful salads, organic wines and cocktails.
Are you bad at making choices? Then they have the "shareables," or dishes you can share. Think ricotta gnocchi, eggplant ravioli and burrata with roasted asparagus.
Using the best flour from Italy, Vegitalian takes its dough to the next level. The pizzaiolo's make the dough fresh on site every day and let it rise for 24-48 hours before serving the pizzas and Neapolitan sandwiches.
What is also very welcome is the new all-day breakfast spot Bam! You can visit this location all day for breakfast, brunch and lunch.
Enjoy classic breakfast dishes and specials. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or just a nice cup of coffee, you'll find something for everyone at Bam! When will you stop by?
De Jamin has already opened its fourth Rotterdam location. This time on the Hoogstraat in Rotterdam. However, this store is slightly different from others, because here you will find the highest candy wall in the Netherlands!
Metre-high containers filled with colourful and sweet treats await you. Choose from all kinds of flavours and every colour of the rainbow. In addition, at this Jamin you will also find the most exclusive candy, chips and other delicacies that you cannot easily find in the supermarket. Cheetos, macarons, Pringles, soft drinks and lollipops decorate the store, meaning Jamin has something for everyone.
Have you spotted the Marie-Stella-Maris store on the Meent yet? This is not only a brand store, but also the place where you can refill your favourite products!
