Liverpool FC opens first official retail store in Indonesia – Liverpool FC
Launched as part of the new retail partnership, which was announced in May this year, the standalone store working alongside PT Kanmo Weston Retailindo is another exciting milestone for the retail team expanding its international footprint in Asia. This follows news of LFC’s first retail partnership in South Korea with Over the Pitch and official retail partnership with All Star Partners (ASP) in China last year.
Mike Cox, senior vice-president for merchandising at LFC, said: “It’s fantastic to see the new store in Jakarta open so soon after announcing our new partnership in Indonesia with the PT Kanmo Weston Retailindo group.
“The reception from the local fans has been incredible. Having a retail presence here brings them closer to the club and an important part of our global football family.
“The new store in Asia continues to support our ambitious plans to grow our international retail presence in key markets across the continent.”
Manoj Bharwani, managing director and co-founder of Kanmo Group, added: “After the announcement in May and much anticipation among fans, we are thrilled to open the first official Liverpool FC store in Indonesia, located in Pondok Indah Mall 2.
“We hope this store, which provides official and authentic merchandise from the football club, will bring the Liverpool FC fan community in Indonesia even closer.”
Rajbir Chopra, sales director, said: “Weston Corp has been around for decades and our strength in football is second to none in this region.
“Our partnership with Kanmo is synergy of two companies that have a rich history of both retail experience and knowledge in the sports industry.
“This partnership with Liverpool Football Club is an exciting beginning for both Weston Corp and Kanmo, and most importantly the fans in Indonesia.”
The shop will house official LFC merchandise including the recently launched LFC Nike home kit, training and lifestyle range plus hundreds of exclusive LFC label products. Jerseys can be printed in-store with players from the current LFC men’s and women’s teams or bespoke to your own name.
