Mets open new, expanded team store at Citi Field

The Mets on Friday welcomed the first fans into the franchise's new team store, located in the Jackie Robinson Rotunda of Citi Field, according to Alyson Krueger of the N.Y. TIMES. The new 10,000-square-foot store is “twice the size of its previous iteration” and filled with “new technology, art and merchandise.” Part of the new store’s appeal is the “sheer size of its inventory.” In the space where 12 T-shirts used to be on display, there are now 52 -- along with “more than 3,000 baseballs on the shelves at any given time.” The organization has also “raised its game” in terms of “what it is selling, especially to female fans.” Krueger noted the store has 40 staff members -- “double the size that was previously needed” -- and also features an RFID self-checkout system (N.Y. TIMES, 4/2).
