LEGO Resale Store to Open on Clement Street
A family-run LEGO resale shop plans a spring 2027 opening in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Retail
A family-run resale business plans to open a LEGO store at 843 Clement St. in San Francisco, where it will buy, sell and trade sets and individual pieces. The planned spring 2027 opening would follow pop-up events held around the city, including one in October at Vara in the Sunset District.
Why it matters
San Francisco's only official LEGO store at San Francisco Centre permanently closed in 2023, leaving a gap for local hobbyists. The store would give collectors and families a fixed place to buy, trade and build with the brick.
The planned store address is 843 Clement St., formerly home to the Apple Land Produce grocery, with a target opening in spring 2027. The city's official LEGO store closed in 2023, and the owners' October pop-up at Vara tested demand before the permanent location.
The details
The store will buy, sell and trade LEGO sets and individual pieces, drawing on the secondary market where collectors search for older sets, parts and figures. The owners plan children's birthday parties and gatherings for adult fans once open. The October pop-up featured a build-your-own minifigure station, collectible minifigures, a bulk LEGO bin, a children's free-play area and a buying desk.

Market Landscape
The planned shop enters a secondary LEGO market where collectors buy older sets and parts, positioning it against the city's official retail presence, which closed at San Francisco Centre in 2023. It sits in the gap between mass retail and the resale hobby community.
Local LEGO fans will gain a place in the Inner Richmond to buy, sell and trade sets and pieces once the shop opens. Families can look forward to birthday parties and gatherings held at the store.
The takeaway
Secondary markets can fill gaps left by official retailers, giving hobbyists a local option when big-box or brand stores leave a city. Watch for the spring 2027 opening if you collect LEGO.
What happens next
The owners are targeting a spring 2027 opening at 843 Clement St., which will be the next milestone for the planned store.
