Cosmopolitan might have dubbed the Kardashian-Jenner clan "America's First Family," but let's not forget that America's most famous family is still The Simpsons and they're making it official by going global.

20th Century Fox announced Friday that after 27 years of gracing our screens, the world's first Simpsons store will open in Beijing, China, in March. The expansion of the Simpsons franchise would continue with a second store in Shanghai by June and the plan for the future is to open 100 stores globally, Jeffrey Godsick, president of 20th Century Fox Consumer Products, told China Daily.

Both the Beijing and Shanghai flagship stores will reportedly cover 250 square meters of floor space and retail up to 200 licensed Simpsons products. These products will range from clothing to accessories such as phone cases and even stationery.

Godsick further revealed that the plan was to have 20% to 50% of all Simpsons merchandise sold exclusively in these standalone stores. "We will continue to design individual consumer products for each of our movies and TV shows in China, and ultimately grow our brand as a company," he said.

Until 2014, The Simpsons was banned in China. According to the South China Morning Post, the ban was issued in 2006 following a particular controversial episode where Homer Simpson visited China. The episode was seen as an insult to the Chinese as well as the government's Communist Party.

Streaming website Sohu currently owns the rights to air The Simpsons in China, and the show has been a hit with the Chinese audience since the ban lifted. According to Godsick, The Simpsons x Joyrich 25th anniversary fashion collaboration sold out in record time in China.

Fox attributes the family's growing popularity in Asia to the reason why the network decided to set up its first store in China and not the U.S.
