Universal Studios Store Expansion at CityWalk Reaches New Milestone
Exciting progress is underway at CityWalk as the Universal Studios Store expansion moves closer to completion! Construction crews have been hard at work transforming the space, and since our last update, the exterior of the building has received a significant facelift. One of the most noticeable changes is the fresh coat of bright orange paint covering the once-plain plywood walls. Not only has the color given the structure a bold new look, but the walls have also been smoothed and evened out, signaling the next phase of the project.

Another major milestone is that the exterior of the building has now been fully enclosed. While this is great news for construction progress, it does mean that interior updates are currently out of sight. However, what we do know is that this expansion is set to bring some exciting additions to the Universal Studios Store. The revamped space will feature a dedicated Wizarding World of Harry Potter section—including a Butterbeer bar—along with a Super Nintendo World section near the entrance. Guests can also expect an expanded selection of Epic Universe merchandise, similar to the offerings currently available at the newly opened Universal Stella Nova Resort.

The Universal Studios Store expansion replaces the former Cinnabon and Quiet Flight Surf Shop, both of which closed and were gutted earlier this year to make way for this exciting retail update. With construction moving along steadily, the expansion is expected to open around the same time as Universal Orlando’s highly anticipated Epic Universe in May.
