To Become the World's No.1 IP Design Retail Group
The MINISO Brand founder Mr. Guofu Ye gained inspiration for MINISO during his overseas travels with his family in 2013. He came across several specialty stores which stocked good quality, well designed, and inexpensive products that were mostly manufactured in China. Driven by his passion for retail and his belief in the industry's potential, Mr. Guofu Ye established MINISO-"Global IP Collection Store". Like many groundbreaking companies as Apple, Amazon, and Google, MINISO began in a Guangzhou garage ten years ago.

    The original intention of creating MINISO is to establish a lifestyle. It does not deliberately emphasize so-called popular fashion or individuality, but the products are genuine and unique; it also does not believe that popular brands should raise their prices. On the contrary, MINISO develops products from a future consumer perspective, which is to restore the essence of the product, stripping away the extravagant and returning to the true, making it more fashionable, more reliable, and more affordable. While allowing daily necessities to have a rich variety of aspects, MINISO also takes into account the reasonableness of the price, making the consumption of MINISO more naturally become a fashionable way of life.

Brand Story
The MINISO Brand founder Mr. Guofu Ye gained inspiration for MINISO during his overseas travels with his family in 2013. He came across several specialty stores which stocked good quality, well designed, and inexpensive products that were mostly manufactured in China. Driven by his passion for retail and his belief in the industry's potential, Mr. Guofu Ye established MINISO-"Global IP Collection Store". Like many groundbreaking companies as Apple, Amazon, and Google, MINISO began in a Guangzhou garage ten years ago.
 
Over the past decade, MINISO has become a consumer retail enterprise powered by design and research and development. Its unique business model spans both online and offline platforms, earning it accolades such as "Top 500 Chinese Enterprises" and "Top 100 Chinese Franchise Chain Enterprises".

In 2015, MINISO embarked on its globalization journey, entering international markets and making its mark in over 111 countries and regions by March 2024. It has established a robust network of 6,600+ stores in world-renowned cities like New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Sydney, and Istanbul. In 2020, MINISO debuted on the New York Stock Exchange under the stock code "MNSO". In 2022, it was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with the stock code "9896.HK".

MINISO's business philosophy is "Joy Philosophy". The company is committed to offering creatively designed, high-quality products at affordable prices, ensuring people worldwide can enjoy a fulfilling and delightful life. Guided by consumer insights and global market trends, Mr. Guofu Ye introduced the pioneering concept of "interest-driven consumption", continuously innovating and upgrading the value pursuit of maximizing value for money.

In recent years, MINISO has excelled in the "interest-driven consumption" category by empowering product innovation through IP collaborations, exceptional design, and cutting-edge technology. It has partnered with over 100 globally renowned IPs, including Harry Potter, Disney, Sanrio, Barbie, and Marvel, launching trendy products that are aesthetically pleasing, fun, and practical. These collaborations resonate with the material and emotional aspirations of a youthful global audience.

Staying true to its commitment to long-termism and sustainable growth, MINISO unveiled a global brand strategy upgrade in 2023. By leveraging China’s efficient supply chain and partnerships with global super IPs, MINISO has carved out a unique competitive edge under its globalization strategy.

With this forward-looking approach, MINISO has set the foundation for its next decade of growth, aspiring to become the world’s no.1 IP design retail group.

Guofu Ye
Founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer
In 2013, Ye Guofu founded the new consumer brand MINISO. With the "Joy Philosophy" as its business principle, MINISO provides "aesthetically pleasing, fun, and practical" products to consumers worldwide. Over the past decade, it has achieved rapid development and has become one of the most representative leading enterprises in the field of new consumer innovation.
 
As early as 2020, Mr. Guofu Ye envisioned "interest-driven consumption" as a key to the brand's growth, predicting that fulfilling consumers' emotional needs and desire for self-expression will become the driving force of future consumption. Mr. Ye further emphasized the idea of combining essential items with IP-themed non-essentials, a concept he refers to as 'essential + optional consumption'. MINISO aims to create a distinctive retail giant that focuses on quality retail while meeting the genuine needs of consumers.
 
Currently, MINISO has grown into a global enterprise driven by design and research and development, with integrated online and offline development. As of the end of March 2024, MINISO has over 6,600 stores in 111 countries and regions worldwide, located in the core business districts of globally renowned cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Sydney, and Istanbul.
