Miniso opens first UK airport store
Miniso is to hold a grand opening for its first-ever UK airport store this week.
The retailer will be celebrating the launch of its Miniso-Go store at London’s Stansted Airport on 19 December.
Spanning 80 square metres, the shop will offer a range of travel essentials as well as fan-favourite collections, including collaborations with Harry Potter, Hello Kitty and Friends and Disney. It will also offer a selection of everyday lifestyle products, beauty items and snacks.
To celebrate the grand opening, the first 200 customers who spend £5 or more will receive a special gift with purchases. The launch day will also include a special appearance by Miniso mascot PenPen.
Saad Usman, chief operating officer at Miniso UK, said: “We are thrilled to launch our very first UK airport store at London Stansted Airport. Airports are hubs of adventure and exploration, making Stansted the ideal location to bring our ‘Life is For Fun’ ethos to life.
“Travellers can discover our affordable and stylish collections, including Harry Potter, Hello Kitty and Friends and Disney, alongside an exciting range of travel essentials perfect for their journeys.
“Whether jetting off on holiday or returning home, we aim to add a touch of fun and convenience to every trip.”
Miniso launched its first UK travel store in London’s Paddington back in October and also has a Miniso-Go store in London’s Victoria. Regular Miniso stores are also open in Wembley, Windsor Royal, Bristol, Manchester Trafford Centre, and Bluewater.
Peter Newbould, chief executive officer of Lagardère Travel Retail UK & Ireland, said: “We are thrilled to bring the vibrant and unique Miniso-Go concept to London Stansted Airport.
“This new store perfectly complements our existing portfolio and underscores our dedication to providing passengers with innovative and memorable shopping experiences. We look forward to seeing travellers enjoy the exciting product range Miniso-Go has to offer.”
