SoHo storefront opens to the public Friday, June 26th, through Sunday, June 28th, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm daily at 188 Lafayette Street, where visitors can interact with and pre-order humanoid robots.

New York, NY — June 24, 2026 - KraneShares, the investment manager of the KraneShares Global Humanoid Robotics and Physical AI Index ETF (Ticker: KOID), and OpenMind, an open-source initiative advancing embodied AI software and cognitive systems, today announced the opening of KOID SHOP, New York City's first store dedicated to general-purpose robots.

The pop-up storefront, located at 188 Lafayette Street in SoHo, opens to the public on Friday, June 26, and runs through Sunday, June 28, with doors opening each day from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Visitors will see and interact with leading robotic platforms, including Unitree, Galaxea, AgiBOT, Booster, and LimX Dynamics, running on OpenMind software, with capabilities on display, including sports and dancing routines, home care, educational tutoring, and home safety monitoring. Pre-orders will be accepted on-site, marking one of the first opportunities for American consumers to reserve humanoid robots through a physical retail experience.

"We believe humanoid robotics and physical AI represent one of the most important technology opportunities of the coming decade," said Jonathan Krane, CEO of KraneShares. "As investors have sought exposure to this theme through KOID, interest has continued to expand well beyond the financial community. Opening a robot store in the heart of New York City is an opportunity to help the public experience firsthand how quickly these technologies are advancing and how they may transform everyday life."

"The store is designed as a place for New Yorkers to come invent, discover, and celebrate what general-purpose robots can do," said Jan Liphardt, Founder and CEO of OpenMind. "Robots are no longer a thing of the future. They are arriving in homes, offices, and public spaces faster than most people realize. Our goal is to give people a hands-on experience with the technology and help shape how humans and robots will live and work alongside intelligent machines in the years ahead."
