“New York City is vital to our expansion plans in North America. The flagship store gives us a chance to bring well designed, functional, and fun products to New Yorkers – all for $10 N’ Under – in the historic, trendy SoHo neighborhood. Our success with the SoHo pop-up store last year proved there is a market for us here,” said Andrew Xie, MINISO North America general manager.
More than 100 MINISO stores in North America now operate under the 10 N’ Under concept since the strategic move was announced in October 2021. Globally, MINISO has over 5,000 outlets and sets for greater growth in 2022.
