By combining rich IP content that drives interest-based consumption with upscale shopping destinations, MINISO SPACE represents a significant evolution in China's retail landscape with its innovative store design and business strategy.
Adopting a narrative-driven layout that brings together exhibition, experiential, and retail functions, the Nanjing MINISO SPACE utilizes a spatial design centered around IP collaborations to seamlessly merge retail areas with IP content and integrate the upscale design of Deji Plaza with MINISO's youthful brand DNA. Through IP-driven experiences, limited edition products, and immersive spaces, the store embodies MINISO's Joy Philosophy to transform shopping into an immersive, premium, and playful journey that resonates with a broad and growing global consumer base.
The new MINISO SPACE Nanjing Deji Store joins a portfolio of more than 7,700 MINISO group stores worldwide as the company continues to accelerate its global expansion driven by its Super Stores and Super IP Collaboration concepts. In November 2024, MINISO opened its flagship store on Gran Vía in Madrid, Spain, spanning more than 1,100 square meters with 70% of floor space dedicated to IP collaborations. This followed the August 2024 opening of the largest MINISO flagship store in Jakarta, which achieved record-breaking sales with its popular Harry Potter collaboration. By emphasizing larger store formats and improving store quality, MINISO will continue to focus on capturing interest-driven consumption by providing products and experiences that enable consumers worldwide to embrace their passions and happiness at MINISO.
