Lionel's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/LionelModelTrains/) is announcing that the next Lionel Store will open later this year at the Opry Mills mall in Nashville. Evidently, this reflects the success of the first Lionel Store in Concord, NC, with its combination of trains and NASCAR in a high-traffic destination mall. The strategy is being carried over to Nashville: the Concord Mills mall is the largest in North Carolina, and Opry Mills is the largest mall in Tennessee.
I doubt I'll be buying anything from either store, but I don't think that's the point. Clearly, Lionel is trying to increase their exposure to the mass market and to potential future hobbyists. I think that's a great thing. I hope the Nashville store succeeds and may be followed eventually by others.
