INDIANAPOLIS, July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, French league football club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has unveiled a new store location in Las Vegas, which will be managed by leading hat retailer, Lids.

The store will also include customization stations, a signature feature available in most Lids retail stores, where consumers can customize their products on-site.

"We look forward to continuing to offer an unparalleled shopping experience in Las Vegas as local fans and visitors will have access to iconic merchandise right at their fingertips.
