Plano welcomed a new addition to its retail scene on September 12 when 10×10, a specialty shop known for K‑Pop merchandise and stationery, opened its second location at 6809 N. Central Expressway, Suite 200. The store, which first began in Carrollton before relocating and rebranding on April 18, now offers Plano residents a dedicated space to browse the newest albums from Korean pop groups such as BTS and TWICE, as well as a variety of themed stationery, plush toys and interactive crane machines.
What 10×10 Offers
Customers can expect a rotating selection of the latest K‑Pop releases, with new albums announced on the store’s social‑media channels as soon as they become available. In addition to music, the shop carries a curated assortment of notebooks, pens, stickers and other school‑supply items that feature popular K‑Pop imagery. The inclusion of crane machines adds a nostalgic arcade element, allowing shoppers—especially younger fans—to win plush collectibles tied to their favorite artists.
Local Impact
The Plano outlet expands 10×10’s footprint in the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex, creating new retail jobs and contributing to the area’s growing reputation as a hub for niche, culturally‑focused businesses. By situating the store in a high‑traffic office‑park setting, the owners aim to attract both dedicated fans and casual passersby who may discover K‑Pop culture for the first time.
Community Reception
Early visitors have praised the store’s clean layout and the convenience of finding both music and school supplies under one roof. Local fans shared photos on Instagram, highlighting the crane‑machine prizes and the store’s vibrant décor. The owners have expressed optimism that the Plano location will become a gathering spot for the city’s diverse youth and families who appreciate the blend of pop culture and practical stationery.
Future Plans
10×10’s management indicated that they will continue to monitor inventory trends and may introduce additional themed events, such as album‑release parties or fan meet‑ups, to further engage the Plano community. The store’s social‑media feeds will serve as the primary channel for announcing upcoming album drops, limited‑edition merchandise and special promotions.
With its official opening now behind it, 10×10 is poised to become a staple of Plano’s retail landscape, offering a unique shopping experience that bridges music, fandom and everyday school‑supply needs.
