A NEW DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL FOR TCG
Pokémon TCG closer to the community. At scale.
We are building a network of smart pickup machines connected to online ordering and placed in high-traffic retail locations. The Czech pilot is the first step towards a European distribution network for Pokémon TCG and related products.
- Pilot within 3 months
- 100 planned locations in the Czech Republic

01 / How Pokemachines works
Online ordering. Convenient pickup. Sales seven days a week.
Pokemachines combines the reach of an online community with the convenience of a physical pickup point. Customers order online, select the nearest Pokemachine and collect their order. Each machine also operates as a standalone retail point for customers at the location.

03 / Growth plan
Current Network and Development Plan
We already operate our own network of pickup points connected to our online e-shop. Our goal is to systematically expand this functioning distribution model over the next five years across the Czech and other European markets.
Furthermore, we have a written preliminary framework agreement for placing new pickup points with a leading retail chain. The expansion thus builds on an already existing operational and distribution infrastructure.
| Period | Planned Network Scope | Geographical Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 50 pickup points | Czech Republic |
| Year 2 | 150 pickup points in total | 100 in the Czech Republic and 50 in Slovakia |
| Years 3-5 | Gradual expansion up to 600 pickup points | Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other European markets, especially Germany and Poland |
The indicated figures represent the planned framework for the network's development. The specific pace of expansion will depend on the results of individual phases, the availability of suitable locations, and finalized partner agreements.
