The World's address is 128 West 42nd Street, between Broadway and 6th Avenue, adjacent to Bryant Park. Other attractions include an hourly light show that simulates the look of frosting, a create-your-own-variety-pack vending machine, and Pop-Tarts Sushi, which consists of three kinds of Pop-Tarts minced and then wrapped in a fruit roll-up.

Tomorrow's Grand Opening is part of a marketing push to raise Pop-Tarts' profile by making a big splash in an area visited by tourists from around the world. And to make doubly sure it stands out, Pop-Tarts is wrapping its 50-foot storefront in Pop-Tarts branding, and tarting up the six-story billboard above the store. "The billboards cost as much as the retail space," explains Faith Hope Consolo, chairwoman of the retail leasing at Prudential Douglas Elliman. "It gives them a visibility that they can’t get anywhere else." It's Pop-Tarts World; we just eat heavily processed artificially sweetened pastries in it.
