Barça Store Canaletes reopens its doors

FC Barcelona is gradually reopening its outlets run directly through Barça Licensing & Merchandising (BLM), and the latest is the Barça Store Canaletes, which will be back to relative normality on Friday 30 July after almost a year closed due to the pandemic. All safety protocols will be implemented, including a limitation on capacity to 70%, is the case at the Camp Nou store that recently reopened too.

The shop in one of Barcelona’s most iconic streets will be open from 10.00am to 9.00pm although only two of the floors can be visited, the ground floor with men’s and women’s clothing, and the basement with children’s items. 

New services include hydroalcoholic gel dispensers, a new in-store layout to avoid crowding, plastic screens at the checkout and additional credit card options to reduce the transmission of Covid-19. 

A number of signs will remind visitors of the safety measures, while only one person can use the lift at any one time, with preference for those with limited mobility and users encouraged to use the escalators instead. 

100% Barça experience

The measures do nothing to prevent the experience from being a 100% blaugrana one. Visitors to Barça Store Canaletes will find all the official strips for the 2021/22 season, plus training gear and exclusive collections that are only available at the club’s own stores. These include the ‘Color Block’ capsule inspired by Brooklyn urban art with a retro touch, ‘Tape’ inspired by British sportswear of the 1990s, the ‘Organic Cotton Collection’ for children and kids and the Johan Cruyff inspired ‘Gallina de Piel’ range. 

Barça Store Canaletes extends the list of official stores to have reopened, which also includes the ones at La Roca Village, Airport Terminal 1, Passeig de Gràcia and Camp Nou. The store at Airport Terminal 2 is expected to be open again soon too.
