Scottish stores finally open!
School is closed, and with my recent trip to Edinburgh, I am happy to report that the YTWL Shop is coming to Scotland! The first shop launched in Edinburgh on August 3rd, replacing Virgin Money and Joules, with a second branch in Livingston, replacing the 4 units next to Waterstones, due to open on August 9th. The Information for You playlist was approved by the Percy Hedley Educational Agency, and that means the PHEA would partner on new projects. The new YTWL Shop that opened on August 1st in Salford (replacing Wynsors) is a strong start, and the PHEA also partnered with YTWL to bring online educational classes to the YTWL Shop, both here and across the country. Another branch in Windsor (formerly Bills) due to open on August 12th, is another showing of the PHEA's master class. So, even without school, the YTWL Shop will already find new expriences to entertain people.

More Dogs, More Stores
Today means that Tika now has a diary of his own. Her story will be shared online for many years to come, and will be the inspiration of other Dogs that wanted to share his story. Luckily, we won't wait, because 5 new YTWL Shops will open around the same time as the Fareham, Waterlooville, and Bedford locations. First up, Eastleigh, which will replace a vacant unit next to David Mellor in the Swan Centre. Next up, Atherstone, Gravesend, Whitstable, and Scarborough. The Quadrant of Stores in this plan are interesting. The Atherstone shop will replace The Myton Hospices, The Gravesend shop will replace Home Decor Furniture, The Whitstable shop will replace Sense, and the Scarborough shop will replace Roman Originals. All 4 of them will open on August 21st. The YTWL Shop will grow very fast, and Tika will be part of it. Enjoy this shopping exprience!

International Womens Day
Yesterday is International Womens Day! First up, a story. This started up as a passion project, but that ended up becoming Bloom's origin story. Bloom is, of course, the main girl from the Winx Club. She's the leader of the club, the one with the most inspiration for the club, the one with the most magic stored onto it. This story took a very different path compared to what Bloom ended up taking in the show. With the wildly experimental era of the Winx Club's parent company, Rainbow, in full swing, it surely won't be long before my story will be incorporated into the show itself. Also, 5 new shops in Fareham, Waterlooville, Gainsborough, Bedford, and Hereford, will open in August and September. The Fareham Shop will replace Ping Pong Parlour, The Waterlooville Shop will replace Sue Ryder, The Gainsborough Shop will replace Marshall's Yard Physiotherapy and Sports Injuries Clinic, which will move to the main Gainsborough Health Clinic, The Bedford Shop will replace Clarks, and the Hereford Shop will replace JD Sports. The 3 southern stores will open on August 16th, while the 2 Midlands stores will open on September 7th. The YTWL Shop will be the future of retail in the country, and Bloom will be ready to take part.

RETAIL  MANIA!!!
The YTWL Shop is growing across the country.  First up, Middlesbrough, which opened on January 17th 2024, replacing the former Disney Store and Durham Bed Centre locations. Next, YTWL will open in Bishop's Stortford, Macclesfield and Wilmslow? on July 4th 2024. First up in Bishop's Stortford, replacing Clinton Cards. This store will also have a special treat for you, Renewable Products! Yes! We partnered with Ecotricity to create brand new carbon neutral products that won't cost the Earth. This includes a wooden Candy Dispender, which they have already made. Next, Macclesfield, that store will replace Elspeth Mills, which will relocate to the former Macclesfield Pound Plus and Mujer Urban Chic space. This store will give you peace and joy to the town. Finally, it's Wilmslow time! This store will take over the former Royal Bank of Scotland branch, and of course, will feature the screen with the Mystic Ball on it. Finally, it's time for Swansea, which replaced the former Cardmarket branch and will open on July 7th. 3 of these stores will open thanks to COLOURS, which will focus on licensing kids properties from other companies. Another will open thanks to STC, which already operated locations in Bristol, Bath and Cardiff. With all the diverse range of products in stock, you won't end up with moths flying out of your wallet when you shop with us!

NEW STORE BONANZA!!!
The YTWL Shop is expanding. In 2024, cheaper retail rents won't be a issue anymore. That's why the Roman Forts Retail Group (a STC company) created 5 shops for us to move in! Chichester (replacing Hotter, Jones and Accessorize), Cirencester (replacing Joules), Colchester (2 stores, City Centre replacing Next (the part facing High Street) and Clacton replacing Yours Clothing), Gloucester (replacing Select) and Winchester (replacing Jigsaw) will arrive on February 1st 2024. Completely Retail's partnership with Completely Retail continues with the February 1st 2024 launches of new stores in Wisbech (replacing Butterley Hospice and iBitz) and Feltham (in the unit next to Poundstretcher). The YTWL Shop is one of Britain's fastest growing retailers. Are you ready to join in the fight!

Commercial Radio is 50!
The Golden Jubilee of Independent Local Radio takes place today! It has been exactly 50 years since LBC, the first ILR station was launched. Our stores will celebrate with confetti thrown by one of the Presenters who lead the Radio Scene in the area over the years. As for the YTWL Shop, we recently relocated to the former Bonmarché store in Washington and we also planned to partner with New River to open new stores in Canterbury (between H&M and Fenwick) and Warminster (between Greggs and The Cutting Bar) on January 2nd 2024. Thank You to TV and Radio Timelines for the advice!

Along with their new Reading (replacing Yours), Ilford (replacing however the hell this is), Chippenham (replacing Bonmarché), and Basingstoke (replacing Bonmarché), all opening November 18th, the Harlow store will be great!

As a relief to some of you, we also acquired Dream Jelly, a more lady YouTube Channel than our other channels, Nathan Connor, which would add laughable jokes and comedy roasts to our 6 flagship channels, Vizeh and Fiago, two additional Football Channels that will add up to their existing lineup, and Stewart Hicks, who YTWL Director of Acquisitions James Thinn believes he’s the next Real Engineering. Also, we planned to make a big announcement later in the year, so watch this space!

Anchor Ltd. - Anchor, part of STC, will anchor the YTWL Shop together with shops in Warrington (replacing Tessuti), Manchester and Oldham (both replacing Yours Clothing), Preston (again replacing Tessuti), and Blackburn (again replacing Yours Clothing).

Relocations - Some members of our original gang are moving places. Chesterfield’s will move elsewhere in Vicar Lane, where they had to merge the Bonmarche, River Island, Yours, and Ministry units together. Kettering’s will replace the former Select unit as we move elsewhere in the Newlands. Sutton Coldfield’s will move places with Roman Originals.

The new Northern Ireland, relocated, STC and Anchor stores will open on September 27th, meanwhile the Scoffs and 23.5 stores will open on October 4th, and the SandpiperCI stores will open on January 23rd next year.

International growth turned to be ideas by July, so we ended all existing franchising agreements before they even got started and decided to partner with other companies to expand the Y T W L shop worldwide. Meanwhile, the YinTheWooLoo Networks family finally expanded, thanks to the acquisitions of Dead Mall Walking and Company Man. These, together with the network’s existing lineup, will create high quality content for us. So, don’t expect a fall anytime soon.

60 + 5 = 65
The YTWL Shop is growing faster than ever. The YTWL Company itself will expand the YTWL Shop into Stevenage and Swindon, both replacing Yours Clothing. Nuneaton's YTWL Shop will replace New Look. All 3 shops will open on September 15th. SandpiperCI's involvement in Retail grows and grows. The Worthing, Norwich and Kings Lynn locations will be confirmed to open on January 15th 2024, alongside new locations in Horsham, which will replace Yours Clothing, and Eastbourne, which will replace The Edinburgh Woollen Mill. The Swindon and Norwich stores will feature merchandise from their local football clubs. The Norwich store will also feature Colman's mustard and Colman's-related merchandise. Britain is becoming more obsessed with our stores.

11.07.23

YTWL x SandpiperCI
SandpiperCI is based in the Channel Islands, but they had just partnered with us to run some franchised stores in the South and East Coasts of England. The first store under the franchise agreement will be in Worthing, which will take on the old Bonmarché store in the town, and will be closely followed by stores in Norwich, which will replace Pure Electric, and Kings Lynn, which will replace Yours Clothing. All 3 of these shops will open somewhere in 2024, and together with the 57 company-owned locations, the YTWL Shop will be a true big retailer on the scene.

25.06.23

YTWL x Microshops
Microshops has been in an unexpected rise lately, and the YTWL Shop is their next bit step forward. With new shops in Aldershot, Ipswich, and Trowbridge, The YTWL Shop will grow even more than ever. The Aldershot store will be based on this square, between them and the Post Office, with a small narrow long thuck left over. The Ipswich Store will be based on the former Yours Clothing store, and the Trowbridge store will be based on the former Bonmarché store. All 3 of these shops will open on September 1st, alongside the Bexleyheath (on the former Choice shop) and Enniskillen (on the former Clintons shop) stores. Well, we got 57 shops now. Now, we're planning to expand to Wales and Scotland. More Details Soon.

24.06.23

Store Number 50
The YTWL Shop is getting 1 more store to even it all out to 50. That 50th store will be in Barnsley, and since YTWL Customer Products already had offices in nearby Penistone (and Truro), it makes sense. It has to be in 4-6 Cheapside, which is a bit of a departure of our usual store opening locations. This store will open August 8th, alongside the relocation of our Gateshead store to the former Tessuti and Regis spaces in the Metrocentre. And we're not stopping there. The relocated MetroCentre store will have merchandise from the Toon themselves, Newcastle United. The Derby Unit, which merged the two units opposite the British Heart Foundation and Charlie Browns, will open on August 23rd, and The Tamworth Unit, which filled in the former Yours Clothing unit, will open on August 31st, with the Derby store also boosting merchandise from Derby County. The YTWL Shop is growing baby!

15.06.23

8 New Shops to come!
The YTWL Shop is growing! Alongside the 41 other shops all over England and Northern Ireland, we will be introducing 8 additional shops that will be added to the network. We had partnered with Forum Retail Commercialisation Properties to open 4 of them. Firstly, in Ashford and closer to home in Sunderland, they had to take over former Yours Clothing stores. Next, in Rochdale, they will take over the former Officers Club store. Finally, in Boscombe, they had to take over the former Roman Originals store. The remaining will be partnered with Barker Proudlove. Firstly, in Burnley, they will take over the former Tessuti store here. Same for Birkenhead. Topshop and Topman will be replaced by them in Stockport. Evans will be replaced in Liverpool. A couple of relocations will happen, starting with Carlisle, which will move to the Topshop Topman store. Hull’s store will move to the former River Island store in Princes Quay. All 8 new shops plus the two moved stores will open on August 4th. Thanks. :)

MORE UPDATES!
Huh. Looks like the Vision consoles are the successful game system I was expecting. Many of the games that will also come out on other platforms will arrive here. Taking unthinkable moves meant that the Vision will be a true gaming brand in the future. Meanwhile, the YTWL Shop is adding a new exprience. The Keychain Studio! Here, you can make your keychain in less than a minute. As for the shops themselves, they will be based in Bradford (at the ex-Tessuti unit), Belfast (at the ex-Yours unit), Lisburn and Newtownabbey (both at ex-Bonmarché units), Newry (at the ex-Belleek Living unit), Accrington (at the ex-Select unit), Northampton (at that large empty unit next to River Island), Rushden (in the former Flying Tiger unit), Doncaster (at the ex-The Trades unit), Luton (at the ex-Salvation Army unit), and Telford (at the ex-Pavers unit, Pavers itself will fully relocate to Telford Dobbies). All 11 stores will open on July 18th, taking advantage of the summer holidays. See you there.

50 states, 50 stores
America is getting into the YinTheWooLoo action! Aside from the Middle East and Southeast Asia, The YTWL Shop via YTWL Franchising has partnered with Franchise Group to launch 50 new stores, one per state. In California, the YTWL Shop will be at the Del Amo Fashion Center, located in a empty unit and the two nearby units of XB and Q Luv. Meanwhile, in Texas, it will be at the North East Mall, in the former Rue21 and Versona units. Arizona, at the Chandler Fashion Center, where the upper level of H&M and Tillys used to be. New Mexico, at the Coronado Center, where a empty unit and the 2 nearby units of The Container Store and SportClips used to be. Each of the 50 stores operate similar to the YTWL Shops in the UK. Video Games, YTWL Merch, Create-a-Story, CBeebies Character Merch, all your usual stuff. But there are some differences. The California, Arizona, and Texas stores will feature NFL merch in the Cardinals, the Chargers, and the Cowboys. All 4 stores (together with all future US locations and all UK stores) will feature events. In the UK stores, these events are all around the store, but in the US stores, these events will take place at the Events Hall in the back of the stores. 2 new stores officially opened back home alongside the Bluewater store which was confirmed to open in June 18th, in Hastings, where H&M used to be, and in Yeovil, where Newlife used to be. The Hastings location will be shared with Leading Labels and Blue Inc, which is a smart move for the company. More store plans coming soon.

25.04.23

The Stalls
The This is Me Children's Festival at Percy Hedley School is just around the corner, and to prepare, in addition to the YTWL Shop, after the festival is over, there will be 5 additional stalls. First, Creams for Choice. Currently tested at the ex-Spud-u-like space in Eldon Square, Creams for Choice will sell ice cream in totally unique flavours, as well as Lavazza coffee and freshly baked cookies from Millie's. Next, Wave Flags Today. They would sell flags at 28 Blandford Street in Sunderland. Next, Pinwheel Spinning. 44 Fawceet Street in Sunderland will soon be home to the world's first Pinwheel store. Meanwhile, Tickets Tickets Tickets will operate the Sunderland Empire, and there are high hopes that live West End shows as well as local shows created by the people of the city will be shown here. Clever Fashions and Bags will be popped into the MetroCentre in the former Baytree Interiors space. The big boys here are fashions, accessories (not just bags), and footwear. What's more to offer? The main retailer, the YTWL Shop, will open a flagship store in Bluewater, where the four vacanies between EE and Claire's on the lower floor, and where Pandora (which will move to one of the empty units between Starbucks and Zara), Choice, and River Island (who will join us downstairs and take over the empty units between Claire's and Levi's) on the upper floor, making it a grand total of 28 stores. Plus, since YTWL Retail also owns iCards, they, along with the 5 other retailers, are founding members.

05.02.23

Update!
Recently, we are heard that a Adult Gaming Centre (maybe Admiral) might move to our target location at the Galleries in Washington. But, those plans are overturned. Recently, Sunderland City Council agreed that The YTWL Shop will move there instead, which means that we will had to make this unit our shop before the opening day. That's good to know. Even though Washington's Adult Plans are cancelled, there's still a place for YTWL Shop to arrive at. On June 1st, the YTWL Shop will arrive at Bromley (in the unit between Claire's and Hotel Chocolat), Leamington Spa (in the two vacant units near Vision Express, which will merge together), and Welwyn Garden City (in the unit between Accessorize and EE). The YTWL Shop is growing faster than ever, and thanks to the council, there will be a total of 27 stores planned.

Data Design's big comeback

Remember Data Design Interactive, the guys who made the likes of Ninjabread Man and the Myth Makers series? Well, they're back! A division of us called YinTheWooLoo Digital Services bought the Data Design trademarks and decided to revive Data Design itself. The first project overseen under the new Data Design Interative, now based in Sutton Coldfield, will be Rock's Journey, part of the Storybook Collection series. Plus, within Sutton Coldfield itself will be Data Design's Create-a-Story booth. The booth will be part of Sutton Coldfield's YTWL Shop, sitting in the space where Topshop used to sit. This store will arrive on May 28th. Also, YTWL Shop's roche limit was shifted further, as alongside the Sutton Coldfield branch, YTWL Shop will arrive in Maidstone's Fremlin Walk, between Fatface and Select, Wandsworth's Southside, where Greggs (who moved  between Pandora and Claire's), H&M Kids (who moved to the regular H&M store), and a vacant unit next to O2 currently sit, and Sheffield's Meadowhall, where Topshop's lower level used to be. The future of YinTheWooLoo is bright, and Data Design Interactive will push that future further forward.

12.01.23

Have the Vision a go-go

The Vision Home and Go systems are arriving, and Eastpoint Media will have 3 new games under their belt. Anime Games Battlenauts will come out for The Vision Consoles plus Luna, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Releasing on September 17th 2023 alongside the other games, Anime Games Battlenauts will star the giant mechs in the Anime Games episode battling it out in a fighting game, published by GameLook in the UK, Rising Star Games in North America and the rest of Europe, and Marvelous in Japan, and developed by Arc System Works. Jeb Farms: The Video Game will be based on the Toys To Life episode, released on the same platforms (minus Luna), Toys To Life's grand return, published by Take-Two Interactive's Private Division, and developed by The Game Bakers. It's Awesome Baby will have the NCAA College Basketball license, will be released on everything too, published by Electronic Arts (EA Sports), and developed by EA Tiburon. 20! 20! 20! 3 other stores will open on May 23rd 2023, in Stocksbridge (in the former Seasalt unit), Ashton-under-Lyme (between Forever Love and Greggs), and Bangor (between The Works and Costa Coffee). Other Vision Games include Rumbleverse, Alan Wake Remastered, Alan Wake 2, Aliens: Dark Descent, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, Syberia: The World Before, RoboCop: Rogue City, Blood Bowl 3, Kerbal Space Program 2, and After Us. As for the menus, there will be Settings, a photo viewer, and the streaming app Twitch. That's all for now!

01.01.23

New Year for the Vision

The Vision Consoles is arriving soon, and there are many games that inspired the calm of gaming. 3 new games will be released, Techland's Dying Light 2 Stay Human on September 6th, Rugby 23 on an unknown date, and Outright Games's Peppa Pig: World Adventures on May 12th. The next generation is truly upon us! 15 stores isn't enough, so stores number 16 and 17 will be opened in Dartford (between Wilko and KFC, opening May 15th) and Workington (between Sinclairs and River Island, opening May 19th). Oh and the Luna add-on will be released on June 8th. The Luna Add-On will feature collections of Castlevania, Contra, and Mega Man (Legacy Collection 1+2). Hot Wheels Unleashed is a fun car game that you would add into your collection, Control Ultimate Edition is a nice shooter on the console, Sonic Colors Ultimate is a remaster of the 2010 Wii and DS game, and Shantae Half Genie Hero is the second Shantae Game on the platform. Who loves a little bonus? Well, the Luna add-on will be updates regularly to allow space for more games. The first update will be on June 17th, with the addition of two more games. Get Packed Couch Chaos is revealed as a Stadia exclusive, but then it didn't became that. Switch, Xbox, Playstation, PC, Luna, and yes, Stadia. Devil May Cry 5 is the best-selling game in the series to date, so adding another version of the game will anger DMC players even more. The next update on June 28th will add 3 new games to the service. Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 are nice platformers in my opinion, and Metro Exodus follows what Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light left off. This update also adds the ability to Cross Play with versions on the Luna proper, and support for the Luna Controller too. With all this in check, all we going to do now is wait until the console is released.

Happy new year Lime Islanders!

Kiribati is the first country in the world to experience New Years, as their time zone is UTC +14. So, bring your cocktails fuzzing as soon, it's Saoma's new year. At midnight, the UK will had it's new year, and at noon tomorrow, Baker Island will finally had it's new year (if anybody lived there). It's glad that we had experienced the new year before.

That was a collaboration between YinTheWooLoo and Wendover Productions.

29.12.22

New Nucelus Studios

YinTheWooLoo's head of R&D, Richard Montery, announced that 4 new British studios will be created. These studios will be created just to launch games for the Vision Console. That's right! Four! Team Crystal will be led by Media Molecule's Mark Healey, and will focus on localizing the Japanese visual novel Vision Detective Club - The Mystery Toys (originally developed by Mages) and developing a video game version on the Hasbro Board Game Risk. Firebright is led by Ninja Theory's Jez San and Nina Kristensen, and will focus on developing digipets, Shadow Blades, and SpaceEx. Pyramid Studios is led by Playground's Ralph Fulton and Kwaale's David Darling, and will focus on developing MATCH! and Royi. Mersey Games is led by Firesprite's Stuart Lovegrove and Chris Roberts and Lucid's Brian Woodhouse, and also focus on developing Aspect, Bravedown, and VisionFly. There will also be a porting house called Powermint which job is to port Vision Exclusives to other platforms via Game Look and other publishers. The Vision Consoles are arriving soon, and the new studios are front and central of the new boom.

22.12.22

YinTheWooLoo's new look

Recently, we saw a trip to Grace House, and two new companies by the YTWL Group. Eastpoint Media will be a licensing and distribution company, beginning with The Storybook Collection for Two Rivers TV in the UK and Hopster everywhere. TSC-related books will be published by Penguin Books, an imprint of Pengiun Random House, soft toys by Build-a-Bear Workshop, and games by YTWL's new publishing label Game Look. Launched in partnership with Frasers Group's GAME retailer, Game Look will focus on multi-platform games, starting with Nemi Lock (developed by The Chinese Room, a Tencent studio) for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, The Vision Consoles, and Nintendo Switch, and HitWord (a Wordle Knockoff, developed by Wooga) for Vision's digital shop as well as Xbox Network, Playstation Network, and Nintendo eShop. Nemi Lock will launch on August 7th 2023 as Game Look's first title, while HitWord will launch on November 12th 2023. Both of the titles will only be published by Game Look in the UK and Ireland. In other European territories, Nemi Lock will be published by 505 Games, and in the Americas, Maximum Games will be in charge. In everywhere besides the UK and Ireland, HitWord will published by Nucleus Interactive Entertainment's Pan-European division, Nucleus Europe (based in Frankfurt, Germany). Meanwhile, Nucleus Digital (based in Dublin, Ireland) will sign agreements with fellow developers to publish their digital games on the Vision platform. The first companies to fall into the Nucleus Digital pit will be Mediatonic's Fall Guys (which will be released on August 8th 2023) and Studio MDHR's Cuphead (which will be released on October 2nd 2023). With a fresh dog on a bone in the gaming market, the Vision systems had lots of hope ahead with multi-platform titles releasing date-to-date with the other consoles (Hogwarts Legacy, Alone in the Dark, AEW: Fight Forever) alongside games that also released on other systems (Jedi Survivor, Forspoken, Atomic Heart) and quality console exclusives.

If specs isn't a issue, the Vision library is. It's growing bigger than ever!

The downloadable titles to be released in 2023 will be SongPop 2, The Oregon Trail, and City Mania from Gameloft, Ultimate Golf and OSM for Miniclip, and Brawl Stars for Supercell. The digital shop will also launch with downloadable versions of physical games, and official apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, YouTube). A revolution in gaming is launching, and the Vision brand is leading the pack.

2 movies unveiled

After seeing The Polar Express recently, I started to think about, but What If I can make their own movies? Well, I'm delighted to announced that Star Films, YinTheWooLoo's new film company, has 2 movies unveiled today! The first was BIRTH, a movie distributed by Lionsgate, and co-produced together with Original Film and Vertical Entertainment. BIRTH will star Andrew Manqouiz grow from a very young newborn to a senior citizen on death row (thankfully not in jail). Meanwhile, the other film, Allan's CBeebies Archive, distributed by Paramount Pictures, and co-produced with Blue Zoo, BBC Film, and GK Films, this movie will feature James Von Gouch as Allan Brickke, and all the usual CBeebies characters. The 2 will release in 2 different dates. BIRTH will be released on May 27th 2023, and Allan's CBeebies Archive will be released on November 23rd 2023. Let's hope there will be more films to come.

First scenario released on YouTube

After 2 years in the making, we finally delivered the message to all What If's out there. YinTheWooLoo's What If just got their first scenario. It's a new series that will pop up on the main channel which I will explore What If questions you carefully asked. It's part of the "YinTheWooLoo Heights" plan, led by corporate investor Sir Joesph Markqiue. Markqiue has led the YTWL Group Ltd. to acquire Local TV Tyne and Wear from Local TV Limited, and recently, Two Rivers TV became one of the companies who are interested in acquiring Local TV Teesside as well. Markqiue also led the YTWL Group to start up a game console manufacturing division (Vision Games Ltd.), a game publishing division (Nucleus Interactive Entertainment Ltd.), a retail division (YTWL Retail Group Ltd.), and a franchising division (YTWL Franchising Ltd.). The YTWL Shop list grows and grows. The YTWL Franchising division has partnered with The Azadea Group to operate YTWL Shops in the Middle East, with their first store planned to open in the Dubai Mall in Dubai later in 2023. The Dubai Mall location will be placed in the two vacanies between % Arbaica and Mehreen Gallery. Meanwhile, Mitra Adiperkasa will open their first YTWL Shop in Grand Indonesia, between Hoops and Converse in early 2024. Meanwhile, the company's domestic retail operations is growing on their own, with the Ellandi/YTWL partnership expanding to Chatham (displacing the GAME unit, which will move to Chatham's Sports Direct store, which itself will replace the Wilko and DW Sports stores in Chatham, together with Everlast Gyms, USC, and Belong) and Kettering (located in the vacant unit between Tui Travel Shop and Boots), while the YTWL Shop will also arrive in Leeds (in the St John's Centre, where the vacant units between Yours and Card Factory will be glued together), Hull (in Princes Quay, where the second Warren James store used to be), and Chesterfield (in Vicar Lane, where Pizza Pi used to be), in a leasing partnership with Barker Proudlove. All 5 stores will open on May 7th 2023. The Leeds and Hull stores will feature merch from the 2 football teams of the city, but the Chesterfield, Kettering, and Chatham stores weren't. Okay, the YinTheWooLoo Heights might have grown the company beyond it's YouTube limits, but that's okay! The YTWL Group Ltd. even has plans to go public in 2023, so they would turn into YTWL Group PLC by then.

Fourth property unveiled

The YTWL Shop has finally unveiled it's 4th licensed kids property. We already had Louie, we already had Little Robots, and we already had Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, so who's the fourth property going to be? Is it going to be another CBeebies series, a step forward into CBBC, or something else completely? Well, I'm the very simplest of all CBeebies fans, so as an elephant hunter and a zebra raiser, I'm happy to say that Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies has been unveiled as the YTWL Shop's fourth licensed kids property. And 3 more stores! 3 more stores! Ellandi expands the YTWL Shop agreement thing with a new shop in Kirkby (reusing the empty unit next to Superdrug), and LCP has just partnered with YTWL Retail Group (which will manage the YTWL Shop) to launch two more stores, in Lichfield (where Magical Story used to be) and Washington (where Sunderland AFC used to be). All 3 stores will launch on April 30th 2023. The Washington branch will have Sunderland AFC merch in the store itself (remember the days when this took up the whole store) but I will gain all the profits from the sale of merch. But, at least the YTWL brand will get stronger in my home town once it finally opens.

The Metaverse is underway

The Metaverse will be a key part of Vision VR. Games will be what we're getting at the moment, but at least we solved the 3-console problem. The 5 original titles will be joined by 4 more original titles, Puzzle Effect (developed by Armature Studios), Total Combat - Evolution (developed by New World Interactive), Destory All Humans VR (developed by Black Forest Games, published by THQ Nordic), and Motike (developed by Rare Earth Games, published by Coffee Stain Publishing), and 3 other games, Among Us VR (released alongside Among Us), Marvel's Iron Man VR, and Dota 2 VR (released alongside Dota 2), all releasing on May 1st 2023. 2 more third-party releases will come between the 27th of April and the 4th of May 2023, Dead Island 2 (releasing on April 28th), and Pac Man World Re Pak (releasing on May 2nd, port developed by Panic Button). Also, 5 shops became 7, as the YTWL Shop partners with Hammerson, one of the largest ones of them all, to open stores in Birmingham and Leicester. The Birmingham store will fill up the vacant shop between Scotts and Selfridges. Meanwhile, the Leicester store will fill up the vacant shop between Reiss and Jack & Jones. In both stores, Aston Villa and Leicester City merch will be featured, but the owners of both clubs won't gain any of their profits from sales of the stuff, I will. Both stores will open April 12th 2023.

26.11.22

YTWL Shop underway

Recently, we saw YinTheWooLoo partner with Sovereign Centros and Ellandi to create a new retail experience in 5 of their centres, The YTWL Shop. The Gateshead store will take up the vacant units between Ann Summers and the newly-relocated Boux Avenue. The Dudley store will take up 6 smaller units surronding Natwest and merges it all into one big store. Meanwhile, Natwest itself will move into the upper level, reusing the space between Nationwide and F Hinds. The Solihull store will reuse the space between H&M and Apple. The Carlisle store will reuse the vacant unit between the Lanes entrance and the rest of the city centre. The Southampton store will reuse the empty unit between Flourish and Beauty Brow Bar. The flagship of the experience will be Vision Console stations and game shelves. The other main station of the experience will be official YinTheWooLoo merchandise. But these 2 stations are just small patches compared to the other stuff. Official Merchandise of Licensed Properties, and since I love Cbeebies more than I love my own mother, I would be happy to say that there are a few properties that people who watched these shows when they are younger making appearances on the shops. Louie, Little Robots, Raa Raa the Noisy Lion, and a fourth licensed property to be revealed later, will all be sold at the stores. The problem is, well, I don't own any of these franchises. Even though I, not the owners of the properties themselves, will gain money from sales, I won't steal any money from the creators of the properties or the current owners of these properties. In the Southampton store, Saints merch will also be present. However, the Saints won't gain any revenues of the sales, I will. But the retailer has lots of hope. More stores will open up, more properties will be sold, more games will be made. All 5 stores will open date to date with the console itself. All I will do now is to design the store logo.
