It is the tradition, LEGO generally offers from 125 € of purchase a small set allowing to assemble a LEGO Store during the inauguration of official stores. Several references have followed one another over the years with the sets 3300003 LEGO Brand Retail Store (2012 - 2014) then 40145 LEGO Brand Store (2015 - 2021) and the manufacturer updates their promotional product for 2022.

To obtain this box, it will therefore be necessary to go to a new official store of the brand during the "official" inauguration period which generally follows the opening of the premises for a few days and spend the amount required to be offered this small set. .

If you want to know more about the contents of this box, SteinauStein uploaded a Speed ​​Build of the thing and Brickmitri a quick review of the set:

The Italian company Percassi, which manages the LEGO Certified Stores established in France, Italy and Spain, is currently recruiting staff for a new boutique which will soon open its doors in the aisles of the Les 3 Fontaines shopping center in Cergy-Pontoise (95).

At this point, Percassi is looking for a store manager et a deputy manager. If the adventure tempts you and you have the required qualifications for these positions, do not hesitate to apply.

Note that recruitment is also in progress for Certified Store which is due to open in the Alma shopping center in Rennes (35).

Please note, as LEGO indicates, these shops set up by the Percassi company are not spaces directly managed by the brand: "... These LEGO® stores are owned and operated by approved independent third parties. Offers, promotions, prices and inventory may vary. Also, the LEGO VIP loyalty program will not be available. Returns of products ordered from the LEGO.com online store will be refused. For more information, please contact these stores directly ..."

We know that LEGO will soon launch a test phase for expansion of the VIP program to these stores but the generalization of this support for the program and its advantages to all Certified Stores established in Europe is not on the agenda for the moment.

Good news for Nantes residents, the LEGO Certified Store installed within the Nantes Atlantis shopping center officially opened today.

The 160 m2 store which also includes a wall Pick-a-Brick is not a "real" LEGO Store, it is a franchise store run by the Italian company Percassi. For those who are wondering, this is not a temporary store that would eventually be replaced by a "real" LEGO Store. LEGO manages its network, Percassi takes care of his.

LEGO also provides some details about the operation of these Certified Stores on its official website:

The second LEGO Store in Belgium has opened and is located at 117-119 Rue Neuve in Brussels. This new flagship store of 270 m2 will eventually offer all the refinements usually found in the best-equipped LEGO Stores, including the possibility of creating a minifig in your likeness or filling brick pots via the wall Pick & Build, but for the moment it is necessary to be satisfied with a visit by appointment because of the current circumstances.

if you plan to go there to take advantage of the offer that currently allows you to obtain a copy of the set 40145 LEGO Brand Retail Store from 120 € of purchase, you must make an appointment by calling 02 223 45 66 at least 24 hours in advance.

Note that this is indeed an official LEGO store and you can therefore use your VIP card there by accumulating points during your purchases and then using them to take advantage of a reduction.

The Percassi company, which manages the LEGO Certified Stores established in France, Italy and Spain, continues to develop its network in France and is currently recruiting staff for two new stores which will soon open their doors in Grenoble and Nantes.
