Speaking about the new store, a Hamleys Spokesperson said, “One of the major highlights of the new store is its U shaped Façade. We encountered a lot of challenges while executing the glass facade but we decided that only glass would do justice to the U shape of the building. It took us 3 months to complete the entire project and now it looks like a premium store. Façade is something we really focus on as a statement of the brand vision.”
