Treasures of Xandar is a gift shop located in the Wonders of Xandar pavilion at Epcot

History

Treasures of Xandar was originally announced as the Wonders of Xandar pavilion's gift shop on March 23, 2022 [1]. At this time, Imagineer Zach Riddley also revelaed the shop's entrance sign, and noted that the shop would be operated by the "Broker", a Xandarian who won a contract to set up shop in Epcot [1].

Backstory [2]

The official Treasures of Xandar backstory states that the store is operated by The Broker, a proud Xandarian, who’s been awarded the contract and brought part of his famous store here to EPCOT. Some of the merchandise pays tribute to Xandar and items acquired throughout the galaxy and, of course, some items celebrate The Heroes of Xandar, the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Commenting on the new shop, the Broker told Walt Disney Imagineering: “I am so delighted to bring my wares to the Wonders of Xandar pavilion. As a proud Xandarian, it gives me great pleasure to represent my planet to you Terrans and allow you to bring home a small bit of Xandar from my shop: Treasures of Xandar. I only hope that it brings our two cultures that much closer together.”
