Proudly New Zealand owned and operated, The Soccer Shop has been serving the community of NZ (teams, clubs, schools, organisations) since 2003 across regional Waikato/Bay of Plenty. Since then it has established itself as New Zealand’s Premier Football Store, launching New Zealand Football’s official global online store and becoming the national body’s official matchday retail partner.

Passionate to the end about football The Soccer Shop sought to improve its retail presence and connection with local football customers.  A smart refurbishment of their Mt Maunganui store in Bayfair Shopping Centre proceeded.  Designed by Bubble Interiors to create a place for supporters, players, coaches, parents, referees to come together to share their love of the sport.

The resulting store design is a soccer-mad space complete with large scale field/turf images on the ceiling and an abundance of football kit lining the walls. Set over a warm inviting textured Muros Wall Panel that provides the perfect unassuming backdrop to showcase its offering – from official team wear, boots, balls, accessories to training and supporter gear.

The Muros Terracotta Loft Brick wall panel was selected to replicate an authentic London brick street that you would see young kids kicking a football against. The aged red and orange faux brick finish with fine grey mist over-spray has natural aging and imperfections found in the wall of established brickwork.
