    There has been a “Gromit Unleashed Shop” in Bristol’s Cribbscauseway since at least 2013. It had the same products shown in the video, the ability for people to take photos next to some statues, and a kids activity area.
    The one which you said @10:55 opened in July 2022 was the same store just relocating to a larger location inside the mall. Moving from from the first floor to the ground floor.

      @SomeBoiOnline  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah I gathered there'd been some kind of shop since the beginning. Looking online all I could find was evidence of the supposed "grand opening" last year, which seems to be in reference to the revamped shop as you say.

    Not sure if someone's mention this already, but here in Cincinnati Ohio, USA, they did something similar called "The Big Pig Gig" they even published a book! Now you can find various flying pigs and regular pigs throughout the city. My favorite one is "ShazHam" which last I checked was in someone's backyard in Loveland, Ohio. 😂

    I live in St. Louis, Missouri and in 2013-2014 (I was 11 at the time), the city did something similar to Gromit Unleashed called “Cakeway to the West”, in which 250 painted 4ft fiberglass cakes were placed around the city, mainly by famous or historic landmarks, restaurants, and hiking trails to celebrate St. Louis’s 250th anniversary. My middle school’s librarian started an art/nature/travel club in which we went on multiple trips around St. Louis to find and get pictures of us by as many cakes as we could.
    Most of the cakes were auctioned off, but I don’t think any the money went to any charities. St. Louis has a lot of affluent areas inhabited by stingy, conservative millionaires that probably don’t give a shit about donating to ill children.
