21 Themed 7-Elevens in Taipei, Taiwan Guide + Photos 2024

Taipei is themed 7-Eleven heaven! We all know that Taiwan is famous for its sheer number of 7-Elevens, regularly frequented by tourists and locals alike. There are currently around 7,000 7-Eleven branches in Taiwan – now that is a lot of slurpees and ready meals!

However, unique to Taiwan (and mainly in Taipei), there are tonnes of themed 7-Elevens with famous cartoon characters or well-loved brands.

At the time of writing and our last visit to Taipei in February 2024, there are over 20 themed 7-Elevens in Taipei including a Heineken themed 7-Eleven, two Snoopy themed 7-Elevens plus even a Maserati car themed 7-Eleven.

New themed 7-Eleven stores in Taipei in late 2023 / early 2024 include a Mofusand 7-Eleven, a Sailing King / One Piece 7-Eleven plus our favourite, an Ultraman themed 7-Eleven.

From Hello Kitty 7-Elevens to an aeroplane themed 7-Eleven, here is our guide to all the cute and charming themed 7-Elevens in Taipei (with a map and photos for each).

Please note these themed 7-Elevens in Taipei change regularly and some of the supposed themed stores we tried visiting had reverted back to normal 7-Elevens or changed to another character (so the Detective Conan store is now a Mofusand 7-Eleven in 2024).

Do check the Google reviews on our map links before you make a wasted journey.

Themed 7-Elevens in Taipei, Taiwan

1. Sumikko Gurashi 7-Eleven Taipei / Corner Friends 7-Eleven

Our first themed 7-Eleven in Taipei (Tacheng Gate) is Sumikko Gurashi heaven! From the cute Corner Friends character window theming outside to the walls and ceiling in the store, this is one of the best themed 7-Elevens in Taipei, Taiwan.

Sumikko Gurashi  themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Inside the Sumikko Gurashi 7-Eleven Taipei, you’ll find a cute coffee shop with Sumikko Gurashi themed tables (and even character chairs) plus Sumikko Gurashi merchandise like water bottles, bento sets, plushies, stationery and T-shirts.

Around the store, all of the Sumikko Gurashi characters are wearing chef’s hats, perfect for the 7-Eleven cafe setting. If only every 7-Eleven in Taiwan was this charming!

Sumikko Gurashi  themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

For those unfamiliar with the characters, Sumikko Gurashi (which translates as ‘Life in the Corner’) are joyful Japanese cartoon figures – they are also known as Corner Friends.

All of the main Sumikko Gurashi characters can be seen in this Taipei 7-Eleven including Neko the Cat, Shirokuma the Polar Bear, Penguin, Tonkatsu the lizard and Tokage the dinosaur and Penguin – don’t expect  Shirokuma the Polar Bear to be in the freezer section as he is actually afraid of the cold!

7-Eleven Sumikko Gurashi / Corner Friends is also referred to as 7-Eleven Tacheng Gate online.

2. Peanuts / Snoopy (two themed stores)

7-Eleven Taiwan does Peanuts – and we don’t mean the ones in the nut section! Taipei has not one but two Snoopy themed 7-Elevens (or should that be ‘elevenses’ if you are reading this in the UK)?

snoopy peanuts themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Charlie Brown and Co have transformed a couple of Taiwan 7-Elevens with Snoopy looming large out front with the kennel – you’ll be left in the ‘doghouse’ if you don’t visit these Peanuts / Snoopy themed 7-Elevens when in Taipei.

As well as Snoopy themed cafe sections, you can buy lots of Snoopy merchandise like water bottles, flasks and Peanuts plushies.

snoopy peanuts themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

The larger Snoopy 7-Eleven near Huashan Creative Park 1914 and the MRT Shandao Temple Station is the better of the two as it has a dedicated Snoopy seating area in the basement complete with a recreation of the Peanuts school bus and Snoopy chairs to sit.

It even has two huge Snoopy dog plushies / teddy bears which people regularly pose with.

The smaller Snoopy 7-Eleven in Taipei can be found close to Taipei main station and around a 10 minute walk from Ximending, next door to this hotel.

OPEN-Chan themed 7-Elevens in Taipei (the 7-Eleven mascot)

Unique to 7-Eleven Taiwan, Open Chan is the 7-Eleven mascot / cartoon character that appears all over Taiwan, especially at store openings and parades. You may have heard about the huge Open Chan mascot balloon escaping in Kaohsiung in December 2022 (check out the video here).

Taiwan 7-Eleven’s Open Chan is an adorable alien cartoon dog who comes from the Open planet and eats onigiri. This is the 7-Eleven brand mascot you’ll see in most Taiwan 7-Eleven stores and on ads and posters.

As of early 2024, there are several incredible Open Chan themed 7-Elevens in Taipei, each with a slightly different theme (one is Open Chan Dream World, one is Open Chan Camping and the other Open Chan Plaza).

Let’s take a look at the best three Open Chan themed 7-Elevens:

3. Open Chan Dream World 7-Eleven / Hanzhong 7-11

The best of all the Open-Chan themed 7-Elevens in Taipei, Open Chan Dream World (located near Ximending/ Hanzhong) is one of our top 3 themed 7-Elevens.

In this particular themed 7-Eleven, cute mascot Open Chan has a huge DJ booth that sits pride of place in a themed cafe – presumably Open Chan is playing something by ‘Snoop Dog’!

open chan dream world themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

This Open Chan Dream World 7-Eleven has so much Open Chan merchandise too like branded bags and drink containers.

open chan dream world themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Better yet, you can also create and customise your own Open Chan T-shirts using the in-store print area – set up your unique Open Chan design and then ask a 7-Eleven member of staff to print it for you.

The whole process takes less than 15 minutes and provides one of the most unique 7-Eleven Taiwan souvenirs ever.

Google Maps Link to OPEN Chan Dream World 7-Eleven >

4. Open Chan Camping 7-Eleven (near Ximending)

Compared to the theming of Open Chan Dream World 7-Eleven above, the Open Chan camping store is quite limited and doesn’t have a themed 7-Eleven cafe seating area as such.

But the cuteness continues all through the store with Open Chan camping scenes covering the walls – because dogs love camping too!

Possibly not worth a special trip but it is OK to combine with the other themed 7-Elevens in Ximending (more on these later!)

Google Maps Link to OPEN Chan Camping 7-Eleven >

5. OPEN Plaza

Along Roosevelt Road and a little away from Taipei’s Gongguan Night Market and Gongguan Subway stop, you’ll find 7-Eleven Open Chan Plaza.

As soon as you enter, Open Chan’s beaming doggy face is smiling down at you, plus there is LOTS of Open Chan merchandise to browse and buy (plus Hot Wheels and Sanrio merch).

And it isn’t just Open Chan 7-Eleven character merchandise – this 7-Eleven also sells lots of Disney and Sanrio merchandise.

open plaza themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

To note this is one of the few themed 7-Elevens in Taipei that doesn’t have a dining area or seating (but it does have a huge Mister Donut cabinet and a Cold Stone Creamer inside so swings and roundabouts…)

As with Open Chan Camping 7-Eleven, this one probably isn’t worth a special trip (unless you want to tick off all of the main Open Chan themed 7-Elevens in Taipei).

6. Lay’s Crisps / Potato Chips

In the heart of Ximending shopping district near the Cinema Park, you’ll find a Lay’s Crisps* themed 7-Eleven. It is easy to spot by the bright yellow Lay’s potato chips branding running through the store, plus on the bright neon sign outside – talk about the Taiwan potato chip promised land!

*UK readers – Lay’s potato chips are branded as Walker’s Crisps in the UK.

lays potato chips themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan
lays potato chips themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Inside the Lay’s 7-Eleven in Taipei, you’ll find themed dining tables, Lay’s memorabilia on the walls plus the biggest 7-Eleven Lay’s potato chips section ever.

The attention to detail here is incredible – one of the dining tables is even decked out like a foosball table but with packets of potato chips replacing the ‘players’.

Locals and tourists genuinely make special trips to this particular 7-Eleven in Ximending just to stock up on those harder to find Lay’s potato chip flavours; we saw people leaving the store with big bags full of potato chips.

Hello Kitty / Sanrio themed 7-Elevens

As one of the most popular cartoon characters in Taiwan and across Asia, it comes as no surprise that there are a couple of Hello Kitty and Sanrio themed 7-Elevens in Taipei.

As it happens, most 7-Elevens in Taiwan sell Sanrio branded merchandise but these two Taipei 7-Elevens take it to the next level!

7. Hello Kitty themed 7-Eleven Ximending

The larger of the two Hello Kitty themed 7-Eleven stores, this Ximending Hello Kitty 7-Eleven one is much bigger and brighter with a super cute themed dining area – one could say it is the ‘purr-fect’ place to enjoy Hello Kitty and her Sanrio stablemates.

The Hello Kitty theme starts as soon as you arrive with a HUGE Hello Kitty on the 7-Eleven store front- Miaow! Once inside, an adorable Hello Kitty statue greets you, complete with a colossal coffee cup.

Loads of Sanrio and Hello Kitty branded merchandise is available inside – check out the Hello Kitty shaped shelf full plushies. The cafe dining tables also are all hollowed out with Hello Kitty merchandise inside behind a perspex surface.

A cavalcade of Hello Kitty cuteness, of all the themed 7-Elevens we visited, this was one of the most popular, especially with people taking pictures inside and out.

8. 7-ELEVEN Xinhanhua Hello Kitty Store

The second of the two Hello Kitty branded 7-Eleven stores at the time of writing, this one doesn’t have the same level of theming as the above store but is nice to visit if you are in the Xinhanhua / Ximending area.

A pretty pink 7-Eleven with  a Hello Kitty neon sign and illustration out front, the Hello Kitty theming continues inside on the walls and ceiling.

8. Heineken

Cheers to this boozy beer, branded 7-Eleven. Definitely one of the more unique Taiwan 7-Elevens on this list, this particular store feels like you are taking part in a Heinken beer TV commercial.

heineken themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan
heineken themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Whilst the main store floor is a relatively standard 7-Eleven, there is a green Heineken lounge on the side where Heinken bottles and branded merchandise adorn the faux bare-brick walls, complete with green strip lighting (some would call it a ‘man cave’ style lounge) and a cycle mounted to the wall.

A huge Heineken neon star and green checkered floor tiles also greet you as you first arrive.

heineken themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

However, to us, this Heineken branded 7-Eleven felt like a missed opportunity – the beer fridge itself doesn’t have a special Heineken section and it would have been great to have a Heineken draft bar in the lounge area. There is so much more that could have been done here.

Google Maps Link to Heineken 7-Eleven >

Did you know there are several 7-Elevens in Taipei with bars inside that serve draft beer?

We’ve seen 7-Eleven bars in both Taiwan (like the 7-Eleven Taipei bar below and in Kaohsiung) and also in Singapore. If you know of any more 7-Eleven with bars inside, please let us know in the comments as we wanna go!

9. STARLUX Dunhua North Road AKA the airplane 7-Eleven

One of our personal favorite themed 7-Elevens in Taipei, ‘take-off’ to this airplane themed 7-Eleven on Dunhua North Road.

Launched to help promote STARLUX’s daily flights from Los Angeles to Taipei, 7-Eleven Taiwan in the past has also sold StarLux airline style ready meals with snacks like roast pork rice, oolong ice dessert and Thai milk tea.

starlux airplane themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

We particularly liked the STARLUX themed 7-Eleven as the attention to detail is incredible – from the dining area themed like an airline cabin (just like you are eating on a plane) to the runway strip that is on the floor.

Other airline theming includes a small plane that flies around the ceiling, STARLUX branded clocks that show all the different world time zones and a lit up roof area that looks like a landing strip.

starlux airplane themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

You can also buy STARLUX branded merchandise like small toy planes or their STARLUX cold brew coffee which is usually only available to buy on their planes (if only they had called it StarBuX…)

10. Coca Cola 7-Eleven

Coke is it. This Coca-Cola themed 7-Eleven in Taiwan is the …Real Thing.

With a colossal Coke bottle on the side, this is one of the easier themed 7-Elevens in Taiwan to locate. While the downstairs 7-Eleven store is pretty standard, the upstairs seating area is transformed into a retro / vintage American style diner and Coca-Cola Museum.

coca cola themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan
coca cola themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

There are Coke bottle shaped glass cabinets on walls showing all the different Coca cola bottle types and promotions over the years plus lots of vintage Coca-cola advertising.

If you’ve bought any ready meals downstairs, you can eat them upstairs here on the red diner style tables and chairs.

The Coca-Cola themed 7-Eleven in Taiwan is quite unique as convenience stores go – a bit like the Heineken themed 7-Eleven, it is shame there wasn’t a Coca-Cola machine or similar upstairs but it is still worth a visit.

11. Bugcat Capoo branded 7-Eleven Songgao store

Ok, an admission – we hadn’t actually heard of Bugcat Capoo before we visited this themed Taipei 7-Eleven in the Xinyi district but based on how brilliant this store looks, Capoo is one cool cat.

A bubbly blue male cat with six legs, Bugcat Capoo is a Taiwanese cartoon character, popular on the LINE messaging system – he also likes to eat humans so you have been warned.

bugcat capoo  themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan
bugcat capoo  themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Bugcat Capoo and all his friends are brilliantly brought to life in this themed 7-Eleven – the cafe area has fun cartoon statues and Bugcat Capoo branded merchandise is available throughout. Even the bathroom area has Bugcat Poo theming (hopefully you won’t find kitty litter in the toilet).

One of the largest 7-Elevens we encountered in Taipei, this 7-Eleven Songgao branch also includes a vegetarian cafe and a Cold Stone Creamery ice-cream counter – so there are plenty of food options to enjoy in the rather blue Bugcat Capoo themed dining area (as well as Bugcat Capoo branded 7-Eleven coffee cups to enjoy your cat-puccino in).

If you are a Bugcat Capoo fan then make sure you also check out the Bugcat Capoo House gift shop and the Bugcat Capoo cafe in Taichung.

12. Kanahei / Kanahera Piske & Usagi themed 7-Eleven

Meet Piske the Rabbit and Usagi the bird, the popular characters created by renowned Japanese illustrator Kanahei (also known as Kanahera in some countries).

There are two themed Kanahei / Kanahera 7-Elevens in Taipei and the larger store near Nanjing Fuxing is easily one of the most creative themed 7-Elevens we’ve encountered (the smaller one less so).

Kanahei / Kanahera Piske & Usagi  themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan
Kanahei / Kanahera Piske & Usagi  themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Kanahei’s small animals are brought to life in and around the 7-Eleven dining area including Piske posing in a French beret with a sandwich and coffee plus Usagi sat on one of the tables drinking a smoothie.

It kinda feels like having lunch in a weird and wonderful magical forest (well, sort of). You can also see a huge model of Piske eating onigiri, plus the shelves are stocked with so much Kanahei Small Animal merchandise.

Kanahei / Kanahera Piske & Usagi  themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

The smaller 7-Eleven Guangyan Kanahei store has similar Small Animals branding on the wall, but none of the models or cute adornments so if you only want to visit one, stick with the larger Nanjing Fuxing 7-Eleven.

2024 Update – we revisited the Kanahei’s Small Animals 7-Eleven in early 2024 and two of the bigger figures have been removed but a couple still remain – maybe customers wanted more seating space?

13. Mickey Mouse

The only official Disney branded 7-Eleven that we are aware of in Taipei, this particular 7-Eleven has become a house of mouse!

Mickey Mouse themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan
Mickey Mouse themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Located next to Taipei Municipal Stadium, this themed Mickey Mouse 7-Eleven was one of the busiest ones we encountered – we couldn’t get a table which is a shame as the dining area had lots of Disney miniatures built into them.

As well as Mickey Mouse merchandise and other delightful Disney gifts, there is a big Mickey both on the ceiling inside plus above the entrance outside. Out front, there is also large panels displaying Mickey Mouse so this themed 7-Eleven is easy to spot.

Mickey Mouse themed 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

Also, this was the only themed 7-Eleven in Taipei that we saw that had its own unique branded coffee cups – Mickey the Mouse with your mocha eh.

Given this is the only Disney themed 7-Eleven in Taipei, we were expecting a little more to be honest – all the Disney tables and Mickey themed shelves were just looking a bit tatty and forlorn, like they needed replacing – more ‘dismal’ than ‘Disney’ alas.

Also, this Disney Mickey Mouse themed 7-Eleven in Taipei also had its own unique branded coffee cups – Mickey the Mouse with your mocha eh.

14. Ultraman 7-Eleven

One of the newest themed 7-Elevens in Taipei, the Ultraman 7-Eleven is also one of the best – the theming is carried across the whole store (even including the toilet!) and all over the ceiling (even covering all the fridges and drink cabinets).

Ultraman 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

If you are the ultimate ultraman fan, you are in for a treat as this 7-Eleven is not only decked out in Ultraman branding but also has an exclusive Open Plaza / 7-Eleven Ultraman figure only available in this particular store (for 349 TWD).

The 7-Eleven store exterior is covered with Ultraman figures (you can even recreate the iconic pose next to a life-sized Ultraman).

Ultraman 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan
Ultraman 7-Eleven Taipei Taiwan

There is also row upon row of Ultraman goods to buy, from Ultraman plushes to magnets, keyrings and Mea Ultraman Gurihiri collectibles to Ultraman Tomica cars.

We sat back and enjoyed an Ultraman branded coffee in the Ultraman 7-Eleven – the attention to detail for the Ultraman store is ‘out of this world’!

15. Mofusand

Along with Ultraman, this is one of the newest 7-Eleven theme stores in downtown Taipei, close to Ximending.

For those of you who havent heard of or seen Mofusand before (seriously?), it is a super cute Japanese kawaii kitten and friends who wear funny headwear like sharks or onigiri – there are Mofusand cafes in Japan, and now Taiwan has its first Mofusand themed 7-Eleven.

Mofusand themed 7-eleven taipei taiwan

As well as Mofusand branding across the entire store (and we mean LITERALLY everywhere), there is a huge collection of official Mofusand merchandise to buy starting from 99 TWD for a small Mofusand badge – we opted to get a Mofusand shark head reusable shopping bag as it was too cute not to buy.

Mofusand themed 7-eleven taipei taiwan
Mofusand themed 7-eleven taipei taiwan

There is a small seating area with cat chairs and tables plus a huge Mofusand motif on the ceiling. We drank our Mofusand 7-Eleven coffee staring at the merchandise just amazed at how popular this branch was – people were buying huge kitty plushies and more.

Other character merchandise is also available in this store including Sanrio characters, Pokemon, Ultraman, Pompompuri, Winnie The Pooh and Dragon Ball.

16. Fumean Cats 7-Eleven

Everyone seems to know about the Hello Kitty 7-Elevens in Taiwan, but ‘miaow’ about the Fumean Cats 7-Eleven?

Whilst we hadn’t heard of these cute kitties before, we can honestly say this is one of the BEST themed Taiwan 7-Elevens in Taipei.

Fumean Cats 7-Eleven taipei
Fumean Cats 7-Eleven taipei

From the huge feline figurine out front to the themed seating area complete with cat chairs and a TV showing episodes of ‘Fumean Cats’ cartoons.

The Fumean Cats 7-Eleven isn’t hard to miss as its bright yellow interior and exterior shines brightly day and night – there is loads of Fumean Cats merch to buy instore plus the whole cat crew can be seen on the ceiling, above the chillers and even by the bins (talk about ‘kitty litter’)!

Popular with local school-kids and an amazing in-store experience, the 7-Eleven Fumean Cats theming also continues on the coffee cups and holders.

17. 7-Eleven Pokémon Taipei (new for Autumn 2024)

Joining the 7-Eleven Pokemon store in Kaohsiung, a new Pokémon themed 7-Eleven in Taipei opened in the Wanhua District in late 2024.

Pokémon is brought to life in-store with characters all over the ceiling chillers and even the store front. You can sit in the themed seating area and enjoy snacks or browse the Pokemon merchandise section.

Sadly there doesn’t appear to be any Pokémon Ga-Olé arcade machines in this 7-Eleven. This is likely because the last time they had a Pokemon themed 7-Eleven in Taipei, the store got so overrun with school-kids they had to remove all the branding and machines.

You can find the new Pokémon Taipei 7-Eleven here on Google Maps >

18. Sailing King / One Piece 7-Eleven Tyri

Located in the Wugu District of New Taipei City, set sail for this One Piece / Sailing King 7-Eleven – the classic popular sea king Qianyang has entered the building.

See the classic map of the Sailing King channel whilst Ruff and Chopba greet you plus buy One Piece merchandise (if you like it, you could even buy two pieces or three pieces etc – sorry not sorry).

Please note that Sailing King 7-Eleven is a little way from the downtown area of Taipei.


19. Pompurin and Cinnamoroll Changhong

Newly opened in 2024, we have ‘puppy love’ for the Pompurin and Cinnamoroll Changhong 7-Eleven. Move over Snoopy because Pompurin is now the big dog in town!

This Pompurin 7-Eleven is a perfect pooch heaven and has lots of doggy merchandise (we said doggy, not dodgy!) in cute cabinets plus dog cartoons on the ceiling.

There is a Pompurin and Cinnamoroll cafe and seating area and of course there are themed coffee cups – you’ll be in the doghouse if you don’t visit this super sweet 7-Eleven.

Please note Pompurin and Cinnamoroll Changhong 7-Eleven can be reached by bus (14 stops / 15 minutes) from Yingge station and is not close to an MRT station.

20. Pili Gili 7-Eleven Riyang Store / 7-Eleven 日揚門市

Located near Taipei’s Cailiao MRT on the yellow Circular line, this is the only ‘puppet’ themed 7-Eleven in Taipei that we are aware of!

If you ever watch late night TV in Taiwan, you’ll see these puppets and similar versions on late night TV. Some of the special effects they use are very inexpensive, fittingly like the snacks in 7-Eleven!

Pili Gili is a traditional form of puppetry that has been updated with cartoon like versions – however, they still have some of the original style puppets on display here in glass cabinets.

As well as Pili Gili puppet cartoon merch, there are lots of Sanrio souvenirs plus a themed seating area.

Vroom vroom – did you know there is a Maserati racing car themed 7-Eleven? Alas, this was the only themed 7-Eleven in Taipei we didn’t make it to ourselves (we ran out of time and this one is quite far out of the city).

The history of the Maserati motor company dominates the walls inside and as well as various racing car model displays and pictures, there is a Maserati themed bicycle (so it is similar to the themed Heineken 7-Eleven store).

The 7-Eleven dining area also has a chequered flag feel so race over to check it out yourself.

Previous themed 7-Eleven stores in Taipei that no longer exist

Detective Conan themed 7-Eleven AKA Cased Closed (Removed)

2024 Update – The Detective Conan 7-Eleven has now been turned into the Mofusand 7-Eleven in Taipei mentioned earlier.

Case closed! Now this is certainly one 7-Eleven in Taiwan worth ‘searching’ for – a Detective Conan themed 7-Eleven!

Detective Conan themed 7-Eleven AKA Cased Closed

Detective Conan is a Japanese manga series launched in the 1990s that is still going strong today (and certainly very popular in Taiwan based on this Case Closed collaboration).

In-store, as well as heaps of Detective Conan / Case Closed merchandise, there are Detective Conan branded chairs plus a large wall mural. Keep an eye out for the cute keyhole display unit full of Detective Conan plushies.

Detective Conan themed 7-Eleven AKA Cased Closed

His arch nemesis Kaito Kuroba also features predominantly through-out this 7-Eleven located near exit Z10 of Taipei Main Station – given the quality of theming, it is no ‘mystery’ as to why this is a popular branch.

If only this were a Detective Sherlock Holmes 7-Eleven; you could use the slogan 7-Eleventary, My Dear Watson…

Detective Conan themed 7-Eleven AKA Cased Closed

Pokémon

We visited the former Pokémon themed 7-Eleven in Taipei in May 2023 but alas, the Pokémon branding had been removed in March 2023.

Apparently this was because the store was having problems with all the children coming in after school to play on the Pokémon arcade machines.

There is however a Pokemon themed 7-Eleven store in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan >

To purchase Pokémon merchandise and play on the Pokémon Ga Ole machines in Taipei, head over to Taiwan’s biggest Pokémon Center in the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taipei Xinyi Place A11 mall near Taipei 101. Read more in our guide to Taipei’s Pokémon Center >
