Scheduled to commence operations in the spring of 2026, this facility will be situated within the Wynwood Art District of Miami. The venue — which is the third such establishment globally, following flagship sites in Nashville and London — is conceived as an extensive brand immersion. It occupies over 8,000 square feet and displays more than five hundred instruments from the company's portfolio, which includes Gibson, [Epiphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inspired-by-gibson1), Kramer, MESA/Boogie, Maestro, and KRK. The interior design of the Gibson Garage Miami will incorporate a moving conveyor system displaying guitars as a visual reference to the manufacturing process. Beyond functioning as a store, the space is designed to serve as a cultural center, featuring a permanent stage for live musical performances, collaborative apparel with local designers, an exhibition area for music-related art and memorabilia, and a custom instrument program that allows visitors to design a guitar to their personal specifications.
