As MINISO's first pink-themed store in B.C., the Vancouver flagship reflects the brand's dedication to creating fun and memorable shopping experiences. The store's soft pink hues and playful neon elements set the stage for a visually captivating environment, drawing customers into a whimsical world that feels fresh, inviting, and effortlessly joyful. With installations such as a pink Ferris wheel, pink blind box station, and an interactive makeup area, the store invites customers to explore and engage in an immersive, dynamic setting. The store's unique design and product variety make it a must-visit destination for Vancouver shoppers.

To celebrate the opening, MINISO organized a series of exciting events and promotions. Visitors were treated to live performances by local dance groups and can participate in a photo booth, face painting, and makeup sessions. Special gifts, including complimentary perfumes and limited-edition Sanrio blind boxes were available. Guests were also encouraged to share their shopping experiences on social media by tagging @Miniso.Canada for a chance to win exclusive products.

Consumers in store

This flagship marks a key step in MINISO's strategic expansion across Canada as it brought another well-design store to the community. The recently opened Sherway store, which also marked the debut of the Chiikawa collection and introduced a new pink-themed store design for the first time in Canada, and other new stores such as CF Fairview Mall and CF Lime Ridge Mall in Ontario, exemplify the brand's fresh, innovative design approach, bringing more joy to shopping. With around 10 new stores opened earlier in the year, the brand plans to open up more new stores across the country in 2024, including a new themed store at Eaton Centre and additional locations in major malls across Quebec. With its unique IP collaborations and focus on customer engagement, MINISO continues to distinguish itself as a leader in the global lifestyle retail space.

Looking ahead, MINISO remains dedicated to further growing its footprint both in Canada and globally, bringing engaging, design-led, joyful shopping experiences to even more customers worldwide.
