Today Fanatics Collectibles announced its first-ever flagship store, to open in the spring of 2025 on iconic Regent Street in London. The focus: sports and entertainment trading cards and trading-card games, featuring Fanatics Collectibles’ brands, including Topps, Merlin, Match Attax and Bowman. Last year Topps secured the exclusive trading-card rights to the Premier League, with product launching in time for the 2025/2026 season. Topps also currently has the exclusive rights for UEFA national team competitions and club competitions and will begin making licensed NBA product later this year.

The much-anticipated store will span 803 square meters (8,647 square feet), and give collectors a one-of-a-kind experience seven days a week. The stunning visual centerpiece: a central display of the rarest and most-desirable cards, all with a giant suspended circular screen above. The flagship will offer exclusive product and have thousands of unique items, inclusive of single cards, retail boxes and high-end hobby releases. It will also see highly trafficked community-building events from monthly trade nights, kids rip events, athlete signings and appearances, partner activations and grading drop-off. Along with retail space, the store will feature a state-of-the-art breaking studio (live and taped opening of card packs), interactive customer education touchpoints – and a personal card creation suite.
“We are incredibly excited to cut the ribbon on this amazing community-building retail space, one that we hope will delight collectors and be a true home for the hobby in Europe,” said Topps President of Trading Cards, David Leiner. “It’ll be a destination for millions of fans as well as our own internal partners – and team and club partners, the latter using our dedicated space to launch and showcase new products in a way that has never been done before.” Speaking to internal partners, the new store will serve as a drop-off point for users of Fanatics Collect, a dynamic marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of trading cards. To the flagship being a home for fans and collectors, currently there are less than five Topps-partner hobby shops in the UK, and less than 30 in all of Europe. The annual footfall of south Regent Street is more than 70 million people.
While the store will focus primarily on trading cards, other items will be sold, including apparel (both Topps-branded and Fanatics-owned Mitchell & Ness) and memorabilia (signed kits, jerseys, balls and other equipment) and trading-card supplies. Types of trading-card products in the store: sports (soccer, football, baseball, F1, basketball, UFC, WWE), sports gaming cards (Match Attax) and entertainment (Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Garbage Pail Kids, Stranger Things).

Ferring Pharmaceuticals to Explore Strategic Options for Rebyota®29.10.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
As part of our ongoing transformation to sharpen our focus, we have decided to explore strategic options for Rebyota® (faecal microbiota, live – jslm). To date, more than five thousand patients suffering from recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) have found new hope when treated with Rebyota®. Without commercial critical mass in this therapy area at Ferring, we believe that this first-in-class, innovative product could benefit many more patients with a new approach to its continued commercialisation. As a result, Ferring will reduce commercial efforts in the United States while ensuring uninterrupted access for patients. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022, Rebyota® was the first FDA-approved faecal microbiota transplant, indicated for the prevention of rCDI in adults following antibiotic treatment for recurrent CDI. This milestone marked a significant advancement in understanding the role of the human microbiome in health and disease. Ferring

375ai Launches Data Layer for the Physical World on Solana29.10.2025 14:00:00 CET | Press release
375ai, an edge data intelligence company transforming the physical world into structured, machine-readable insights, today announced the launch of its mainnet on Solana. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251028976994/en/ 375ai Launches Data Layer for the Physical World The physical world is generating more data than ever before, but most of it is invisible. Traffic systems, advertising platforms, and governments still rely on outdated infrastructure and fragmented data sources to understand how people and goods move through cities. Centralized data pipelines are expensive, slow, and often limited to incomplete or delayed insights. Meanwhile, AI systems are hungry for real world context not just synthetic inputs. Without structured, real time data, they can’t power smarter mobility, logistics, and safety solutions. 375ai enables real world data capture, unlocking a new category of physical AI infrastructure.
