Roland flagship store opening in New York City

Overview

Roland has announced the opening of its first North American flagship store in New York City, scheduled for early October 2026. Located at 414 West 14th Street in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, the 9,000-square-foot facility will house the Roland, BOSS, and Drum Workshop (DW) brands.

The retail space is designed as a creative hub featuring dedicated sections for pianos, drums, guitars, synthesizers, and DJ equipment. It will include the company’s first grand piano showroom, an immersive ‘BOSS Cavern’, and a dedicated area for the TR-808 Rhythm Composer to highlight its musical legacy.

Technological features include ‘Roland Soundscapes’, an AI-powered system that generates compositions based on factors such as human movement, MIDI signals, and weather conditions. To support creators, the store will offer free 30-minute workshops, one-on-one sessions with specialists, and after-sales training. An invite-only opening ceremony is planned for October 10.
