The global hype around the new Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally album will land on Capitol Hill this weekend with a Harry Styles pop-up store.

E Pine is one of sixteen spots around the world chosen for the marketing stunt.

The last time the pop star unleashed a marketing ploy at this scale in 2022, the Harry’s House shops were filled with “special activations and exclusive merchandise designs.”

This time’s global KATDO roster includes Amsterdam, Atlanta, Berlin, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, London, Miami, Paris, Phoenix, Rome, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, New York City, and, yes, Seattle.

While in LA, the shop will pop-up on the trendy Melrose Ave, in Seattle, the Styles folks have chosen the grungier Pike/Pine.

CHS has reported before on big brands weighing a Capitol Hill storefront against a suite in the more posh University Village mall. In fact, the space the Styles pop-up is lined up for this weekend was recently home to one such retail experiment as the short-lived U.S. headquarters for Australian footwear designer Frankie4 Shoes.

The 2,200-square-foot space has been listed for lease at around $36 per square foot.

The temporary KATDO shop will neighbor Capitol Hill arcade and tabletop gaming hangout the Raygun Lounge. CHS reported here on recent efforts to “save the Raygun” and help a new owner take over the business.

The pop-up shop is slated to debut Friday at 4 PM with the release of the album and remain open through the weekend, only.

Further details are scant though it doesn’t sound like we’ll see any of the inventory found at a Styles pop-up shop last summer in New York City to promote Pleasing Yourself, “the singer-actor’s new line of sexual gadgets and goodies” including vibrators and lube.

As for the music, Styles’s 2026 tour won’t include the Emerald City. The songs? Rolling Stone says the album “subverts expectations and gets weird in delightful ways.”

The Harry Styles KATDO shop is scheduled to open Friday, March 6th at 501 E Pine. Watch @hshq for updates.
