A new concept merchandise location of 'shops within shops' will be opened in Downtown Disney's Marketplace in early 2014, replacing Team Mickey.

The shops will showcase new and innovative Disney retail concepts. Disney's manager of retail design, Tom Sheldon said:

"These unique shopping experiences in major cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York all have something in common – they are compelling and distinct, allow visitors to connect to the environment, and foster a sense of discovery. This is our goal with the Marketplace Co Op."

"This public marketplace will serve as a laboratory to showcase new concepts and specialty products," ... "It will be an incubator to introduce exciting new Disney retail shops and products."

When the Co Op marketplace opens, it will feature six new shops:

• Beautifully Disney – A beauty destination for woman featuring make-up, fragrance and beauty accessories.
• Cherry Tree Lane - Accessories for the sophisticated woman with a passion for scarves, shoes, bags and jewelry.
• D-Tech on Demand – A place to personalize and customize your own electronic accessories.
• The Trophy Room - Vintage inspired, lifestyle sports apparel and collectibles.
• Centerpiece - Home product for Guests that want a splash of Disney in their room furnishings, textiles and everyday ware.
• Zoey and Pickles - A girls' destination containing the latest trends and glamour for the up and coming fashionista.

Work on the new marketplace is expected to start in early 2014, with Team Mickey due to close in January.
