The Discovery Channel stores first opened in 1995. By 1997, the chain had 17 US and 1 UK stores. At that time, the chain was building a flagship store in Washington, DC, with three levels themed to various environments—sea and underground, land and outer space, aviation and science—to be opened in February 1998, with another flagship store in San Francisco to be opened in November 1998.<ref>{{cite news|last1=White|first1=George|title=New Theme Player|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1997/sep/16/business/fi-32873/2|work=Los Angeles Times|date=September 16, 1997|page=2|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170208035821/http://articles.latimes.com/1997/sep/16/business/fi-32873/2|archive-date=February 8, 2017|access-date=February 7, 2017}}</ref>
