The store will be located on the third floor of the Mediage entertainment complex, which is located at Odaiba in Tokyo. The shop will be selling goods and exclusive merchandise from the company's online store called E-Capcom. Examples include a Dragon's Dogma bust and Monster Hunter monster figurines.

Capcom embarked on another brand extension venture earlier this year with the opening of the Capcom Bar in Shinjuku's Pasela Resort located in Tokyo. The establishment serves Capcom-themed food and drinks, including a Resident Evil "brain cake" and Phoenix Wright onion rings.
