Breaking Bad Store, Albuquerque

Albuquerque鈥檚 Old Town has its fair share of historic storefronts, but one in particular trades adobe charm for Heisenberg hats. The Breaking Bad Store ABQ sits a stone鈥檚 throw from the Plaza and devotes itself entirely to Vince Gilligan鈥檚 TV universe. Walk through its doors and you鈥檙e met with walls of licensed merchandise鈥攕hirts, mugs, trinkets with Saul鈥檚 smirk, and novelty items sourced both from around the world and crafted by local artisans who keep the fandom personal.

But it鈥檚 more than a place to grab a T-shirt. The store doubles as a small-scale museum, free to enter, with rotating displays of genuine props, costumes, and set pieces from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Some pieces come autographed by cast members, and others look like they鈥檝e been lifted straight from the screen鈥攍etting fans lean in close to details usually lost in the editing room.

Adding to the fun are interactive corners that echo the shows鈥� most iconic sets. There鈥檚 a Los Pollos Hermanos backdrop for photos, and even Saul Goodman鈥檚 office desk where visitors can play attorney for a moment or two. Staff often share anecdotes from filming, turning a casual browse into an impromptu story session about Albuquerque鈥檚 days as Hollywood鈥檚 grittiest stand-in.

With its mix of souvenirs, production lore, and playful recreations, the Breaking Bad Store ABQ feels part gift shop, part archive, part fan pilgrimage. It鈥檚 a space where the line between fiction and memory blurs鈥攑roof that Albuquerque鈥檚 role in television history is alive and well, even on the shelves of a shop.
