As construction continues on the Universal Studios Store expansion, new glass windows have been installed.
Universal Studios Store Construction
In our previous update, the plywood on the exterior of the Universal Studios Store had been painted a bright orange base coat as construction progressed. Since then, crews have completed even more work construction work.
During our recent visit, we noticed that glass windows have been installed in some areas. Weather-resistant Jumbo Tex covering has been installed to the right of the glass. A crew member can be seen working on the awning up above.
More glass has been installed at the corner of the store. Construction equipment can be seen throughout the area. Scaffolding and scissor lifts have also been set up at the corner of the store where crew members are actively working.
The elevator previously accessible to guests has now been closed off with construction walls. The elevator doors are covered with plastic and red tape. Signage on the construction walls states “Elevator is out of order. Please see a Universal Team Member for assistance.”
Windows have also been installed on the left side of the building. Crew members in scissor lifts are also at work on that side of the structure. The floor surrounding the structure has been covered in TYPAR wrap, likely to protect it while construction work continues.
The former Cinnabon and Quiet Flight Surf Shop closed in 2024 to make way for the current Universal Studios Store expansion. Once completed, the Universal Studios Store expansion will add a new Harry Potter section and a Super Nintendo World section. The store will also carry Epic Universe merchandise similar to what is available currently at the new Universal Stella Nova Resort.
