It is the company's first permanent SEGA STORE in the Kansai region and follows SEGA STORE TOKYO, which opened in July 2025. The store carries exclusive merchandise, including Osaka-only items such as a monochrome Sonic plush designed with collage artist Kosuke Kawamura at 3,960 yen including tax, a shopping bag showing Sonic and friends with Tsutenkaku at 1,100 yen including tax, and rubber straps that dress Jack Frost from the Shin Megami Tensei series and Morgana from Persona 5 The Royal as takoyaki at 1,320 yen each including tax. Apparel includes Like a Dragon T-shirts made with fashion brand glamb in Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima, and Ichiban Kasuga versions, each 9,900 yen including tax. An opening ceremony was held on October 1, with Sega president and COO Shuji Utsumi, Transmedia head Justin Scarpone, and PARCO store manager Takashi Sugawara taking part. Entry from October 2 to 4 is by timed admission with numbered tickets.","whyItMatters":"Sega's store planning is now shaped by regional tourist demographics: Scarpone said Osaka gets a large Atlus corner because Persona is popular across Asia, while Tokyo draws more Western visitors who favor Sonic.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSEGA STORE OSAKA stocks merchandise from a wider set of series than the Sonic, Like a Dragon and Atlus lines carried at the front of the store, and it also adds several Osaka hallmarks to its design.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePuyo Puyo goods sit alongside the other shelves.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAngry Birds items appear at a SEGA STORE for the first time, in takoyaki motifs.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProject Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat.
