Lynnwood K-pop store wary of new tariffs
EVERETT — Todd Dickinson and Ricky Steinlar should be pleased right now.
The owners of The K-POP Empire moved from Everett to a much bigger location in Lynnwood. Loyal customers seem to love the store’s collection of T-shirts, plushy dolls, stickers advertising various bands and key chains.
Weeks after moving into their Lynnwood soft opening on April 2, the entrepreneurs can’t help but worry about the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on their business.
“This should be a happy time for us,” Dickinson said, “But as business owners, in the back of our heads we’re wondering how long can we sustain our business if we have to pass along these higher costs to our customers.”
