PARIS, June 26,
2024 /CNW/ -- MINISO, the global lifestyle brand
known for its fun, affordable, design-led products, celebrated the
grand opening of its brand-new flagship store in Paris on Saturday, June
22nd. The prime location, situated at 104 Avenue
des Champs-Elysées, places MINISO right in the heart of the city's
most iconic shopping district, nestled among the world's most
famous luxury brands and just steps away from the Arc de
Triomphe. The grand opening created a buzz in the city, and the
store even achieved a new MINISO record for single-day sales
outside of mainland China.
The Paris flagship, which is
MINISO's largest store in Europe,
marks a significant milestone for MINISO's ongoing global
expansion, aligning perfectly with the brand's ambitious "Super
Store" strategy. This strategic approach focuses on establishing
large-format stores in key, high-traffic areas. These "Super
Stores" offer customers a truly immersive MINISO experience,
showcasing the brand's extensive product range across categories
like household goods, cosmetics, stationery, and more. The new
flagship, which sprawls across two floors and over
8,600ft2, particularly highlights MINISO's IP
collaboration collections - one of the brand's key strategic
product categories - with design elements and store zones dedicated
to Sanrio, Disney, Barbie and others. The store will also be the
first in France to debut the new
BT21 IP collection.
The new opening comes on the back of strong financial
performance for the brand in the March quarter of 2024. The brand's
total global revenue grew 26% YoY to US$515.7 million, while revenue generated from
overseas markets surged by 52.6% YoY to US$169.2 million. This impressive
performance reflects the relevance and resilience of the brand's
business model and the universal appeal of its products.
"The new flagship store in Paris is another exciting step forward for
MINISO," said Vincent Huang, general
manager of MINISO overseas distributor markets and vice president.
"Following the successful launch of Super Stores in Times Square
and Oxford Street, this prestigious Parisian location further
solidifies our commitment to the 'Super Store' strategy and its
role in elevating the customer experience and propelling our global
brand recognition."
MINISO's "Super Store" strategy goes beyond simply offering a
wider product selection. These larger stores create a more engaging
and interactive shopping environment, fostering a sense of
discovery and excitement for customers. This emphasis on
experience, combined with the brand's dedication to high-quality
products at affordable prices, is a key driver of MINISO's success
in international markets.
With the addition of the Paris
flagship, MINISO now boasts a presence in 110 overseas (outside
mainland China) markets, with
6,630 stores worldwide. The brand's long-term vision is to become a
global super brand, and it plans to achieve this by establishing
900 - 1,100 new stores globally in 2024, with over 50% of the new
stores to be located overseas. This strategic expansion will
solidify MINISO's position as a leading lifestyle destination for
consumers around the world.
