World’s First Authorized POG Retailer in 20 Years Opens and Anyone Can Join

Snuffies in Whitefish, Montana to be the 1st Retailer, Authorized to Sell New POG Collectibles, in 20 years.

WHITEFISH, MT, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Snuffies, a family-owned collectibles store in Montana’s Flathead Valley, has been announced as the world’s first authorized POG retailer in more than 20 years. This historic partnership bridges nostalgia with cutting-edge blockchain technology, positioning Snuffies as the epicenter of POG’s global retail revival.

POG Meets Solana at Snuffies

As part of the launch, Snuffies will integrate Solana Pay for in-store purchases and introduce POG Coin, the official Solana-based meme coin of the POG brand, into its loyalty program. Shoppers can earn and spend POG Coin through purchases, with direct ties to POG’s Launchpad and Battle Game, where collectors compete for rare digital items and climb global leaderboards.

“POG isn’t just back, it’s evolving,” said Kyler Frisbee, CEO of POG Digital. “By combining physical collectibles with Solana-powered loyalty and redemption, we’re creating one of the first hybrid ecosystems that works in-store, online, and on-chain.”

The POG Prize Wall

Snuffies and POG have teamed up to launch the POG Prize Wall, a groundbreaking collection now live on Magic Eden, the world’s leading Solana marketplace:

This partnership sets a new standard for collectibles retail, “Fanatics meets POG x Pokémon Go”, blending in-store experiences with blockchain authentication and gamified digital rewards.

The Old-Fashioned Game of the Future

With over 200 million POG fans worldwide, the return of POG combines the joy of the ’90s with the technology of tomorrow. At Snuffies, the old-fashioned game of the future is back, and now it’s tradable, playable, and redeemable on Solana.

Proven Scale: POG Digital by the Numbers

Since the launch of POG Hub’s Beta V2 [4/'25]:

✅ 45,000+ active members added since the V2 upgrade

✅ 10,000 daily active questors (past 90 days)

Verified & Authenticated Physical Collectibles: Similar to StockX, but built on-chain for provable authenticity, stored in off-premise high security facilities.

Gamified Ecosystem: A mix of GTA-style digital engagement and blockchain rewards, blending play with ownership.

In-Store Redemptions: Physical prizes like Golden Slammers, Solid Silver Kinis, and Mythically Rare Hobby Boxes can now be redeemed in Montana, and soon, worldwide.
