The store design has taken inspiration from our rich 150-year history incorporating cultural touchpoints from Villa Park whilst integrating a museum section that celebrates the Club's deep-rooted connection to both Birmingham and football history.

The store spans 10,000 square feet across a ground and mezzanine floor which showcases our full retail offering including our kits, training wear and a significant adidas collection.
