It's a tough time to get into the retail business, but figurine maker Funko thinks its toys are popular enough to make it work.The company that produces the popular toys with heads that bobble plans to open up a nearly 40,000-square-foot store in Los Angeles later this year."So many people are looking for an experience when they shop — not just buying things," Funko CEO Brian Mariotti told CNN Business in an exclusive interview. "This is retail times pop culture."Funko is known for its vinyl figures that are based on popular movie, TV and comic book characters. It also reproduces real life athletes. The company has licenses with most big studios, including Disney for its Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters, Warner Bros. for the DC Comics and Harry Potter franchises as well as Pokémon. (Warner Bros., like CNN, is owned by AT&T's WarnerMedia.)The LA store will be located on Hollywood Boulevard, not far from the famous TCL Chinese Theatre. It will neighbor a Shake Shack and SoulCycle — in other words, trendy. Mariotti said the company is targeting both tourists and local residents.Funko already runs a smaller retail outlet at its corporate headquarters in Everett, Washington. Mariotti said that when the company opened that store up, he thought it would be a hit with pop culture enthusiasts and Funko employees. The store wound up exceeding those expectations.Mariotti said moms with young kids are big fans. Many customers are repeat visitors, too. That proved to Funko that it might be a good idea to set up shops in cities that could attract a mix of local fans and enthusiasts willing to travel to the store.The new Hollywood location will let customers pose with life-size Funko figures and sit in a toy version of the Batmobile, he said.He added that the company was still working with the building developer and local officials in Los Angeles, so the store won't be ready for a while. But he hopes to open it in time for Halloween. Parts of the store are being built in Washington and shipped down to California.If the store is a success, Mariotti said that more Funko locations could open up in other tourist meccas, such as London, Tokyo and Las Vegas.But he was quick to point out that Funko isn't trying to compete with its retail partners. Funko, like other toy companies, sells a lot of merchandise on Amazon and at Walmart and Target. The company also has distribution at specialty retailers like GameStop and Hot Topic.Instead, Mariotti said the goal is to build even more followers for the brand, driving sales at those big retailers.Funko will report its results for the fourth quarter Thursday, and it is expected to talk more about its retail plans then. Analysts expect sales to have risen nearly 20% from a year ago and for earnings per share to have more than doubled.The stock is up more than 50% already this year. 2874

It was a quiet afternoon at the White House toward the end of a four-day week. Network correspondents were preparing for their evening newscasts, cameramen were scattered throughout the briefing room and outside, some reporters had stepped out for coffee.Minutes after 4:00 p.m., a voice came on the overhead speaker announcing that press secretary Sarah Sanders would hold a briefing in "five minutes."The scramble was on.For a White House that has held increasingly rare briefings, the short notice was unusual yet not surprising. And as the press appearances have shrunk, the importance of each opportunity to ask questions has increased.Still photographers ran to secure their spots. Television camera crews and audio technicians rushed to turn on, focus and color balance cameras and wire up correspondents for live shots. The White House audiovisual staff turned the podium microphones on and the lights up at the last minute.And when Sanders took the podium, instead of taking questions she introduced a "very special guest" -- the President of the United States."Hello, everybody, beautiful place, I haven't seen it," President Donald Trump said as he walked in, wishing the press assembled a happy new year.Thursday marked Trump's first official appearance at the briefing room podium nearly two years into his administration. But despite being billed as a press briefing, and taking place in the briefing room, Trump did not deliver a briefing (he took no questions) and instead gave a statement pressing for his border wall.His visit was such a surprise that the podium wasn't dressed with a presidential seal. Journalists were still filling in seats in around the back of the briefing room, which is normally packed and standing room only for briefings, as the President began to speak.He offered his warm congratulations to newly elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, praising what he called her "tremendous, tremendous achievement."On the first day of divided government during his administration, Trump cited infrastructure as one area where the White House could work with the Democratic-controlled House. Then, Trump made a push for his border wall, introducing some members of the National Border Patrol Council and National ICE Council.The remarks came on the 13th day of a partial government shutdown as Democrats have officially taken control of the House and negotiations to fund the government have reached a stalemate due to ongoing disputes about border security and wall funding. The White House won't say whether the President would accept a funding package with less than billion for a border wall, but leadership from both parties in Congress are expected to meet with the President at the White House Friday morning.The President said he had been sitting in the Oval Office with the border patrol agents in a previously scheduled meeting and decided he wanted to "see the press" so the agents could "tell them about the importance of the wall.""First time I've ever done this. The first time I've done it, and I've done it for you (the National Border Patrol Council members). And I'm very proud of it," he said.Trump refused to take questions about the government shutdown, walking out of the briefing room along with the border patrol agents, Sanders, communications director Bill Shine and social media director Dan Scavino, a mere eight minutes after entering.One reporter, who had gotten word of the briefing but was across town on Capitol Hill, rushed back across Pennsylvania Avenue, but missed it altogether."It was over before I even got there," the reporter texted. 3618

In an age where you can essentially look up anything on the internet, the New York Public Library is helping people find answers to their questions the old-fashioned way: books.Deep inside one of the largest libraries in the world, beyond the glitz of its famous reading rooms, sits a man who helps answer a variety questions from visitors. On this particular day, one visitor wants to know who Dr. Seuss’ favorite character from his book is.Bernard van Maarseveen is like a human search engine, often referred to as "the human Google." Instead of scouring the internet for answers, he descends into the depths of the libraries research stacks, looking for a needle in a haystack of 53 million books. Van Maarseveen, assistant manager of the “Ask New York Public Library” program, gets calls and emails on infinite subject matter, usually from people who fall into a few categories. "Mostly, it's those who can’t look things up in Google, so it would be, tends to be, seniors,” he says. “Sometimes students doing a class assignment, sometimes people for whatever reason don't have internet connection.” He says scanning the shelves, knowing he might make someone's day, is one of the best parts of his job.As for the answer to a visitor’s Dr. Seuss question, van Maarseveen finds a book with the answer: Lorax. 1322
