After the much-welcomed news of the Japanese store UNIQLO coming to Glasgow, we have another popular Asian shop opening its doors less than a month later. Miniso has now opened its doors in Glasgow, bringing adorable (and affordable) lifestyle and household products to an in-person setting.
Miniso Glasgow opened on Friday, June 6, boasting a massive store at Braehead Shopping Centre.
Shoppers can expect a mix of vibrant and collectable items, such as fluffy plush toys, favourites like Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Minecraft, Friends, and Pokemon, as well as everyday items in beauty, homeware, tech, and snacks. And yes, guests can look forward to finding the TikTok-famous blind boxes, too!
Moreover, the first 200 customers who spend at least £5 received a celebratory goody bag worth £25.
Saad Usman, Chief Operating Officer at MINISO UK, said: “Scotland has been on our wishlist for a long time – we’ve had so many requests from Scottish fans asking us to bring MINISO here, so we’re thrilled to finally open our doors in Edinburgh. As a brand that champions joy and affordability, we can’t wait to introduce even more people to the world of MINISO. We can’t wait to share our world with our Scottish fans and add a little extra fun to their lives.”
Ashley Bisland, Centre Director at Braehead Shopping Centre added: “As a much-loved global brand, we’re thrilled to be welcoming MINISO to Braehead for its first store in the West of Scotland. Known for its playful ranges and character collaborations, MINISO offers a truly unique shopping experience that’s packed with personality – just like Braehead itself. It’s a brand that resonates with everyone from families to young shoppers, and we’re confident it will be a vibrant addition to the centre.”
Saad Usman, Chief Operations Officer at MINISO said: “We can’t wait to open our doors at Braehead. This will be our second Scottish store and our first in the west – a fantastic city with a brilliant shopping scene. We’re looking forward to meeting local shoppers and introducing them to everything MINISO has to offer.”
