MINISO Opens Zanmang Loopy IP-themed Store at Singapore Jewel Changi Airport with a Fun Dance Party

The brand held a HAPPY DANCE event to mark the opening of the new store, its first Zanmang Loopy IP-themed store outside of mainland China.

SINGAPORE, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In July, global lifestyle brand MINISO celebrated the reopening of its fully upgraded store at Jewel Changi Airport as the brand's first Zanmang Loopy IP-themed store globally (outside mainland China). The revamped store, featuring a Loopy concept design, is also the first to include a dedicated MINISO GO zone, offering travel essentials to provide greater convenience for travelers at one of the world's busiest airports. The store's sales on July 4th were up by approximately 1150% QoQ (compared with before the store's upgrade).

Having taken Asia by storm recently, the adorable pink Zanmang Loopy character lands at Jewel Changi Airport and takes center stage at MINISO's new store, providing the theme for an eye-catching interior design. The store also features a Building Blocks installation depicting Changi Airport at its entrance, highlighting the transportation hub's status as an unmistakable symbol of Singapore. Besides the distinctive MINISO GO zone for travelers, the store also features COOLING collections perfect for the hot summer, as well as various IP zones showcasing MINISO's collaborations with some of the world's biggest IP licensors, including Disney, BT21, Pokémon, Minions, and more. In line with the store's Loopy theme, MINISO has also introduced its latest Loopy collection to the store, which has been highly anticipated by fans and quickly captures consumers' hearts.

To celebrate the grand opening, MINISO hosted a HAPPY DANCE event on July 4th, right in front of the iconic Rain Vortex at Jewel Changi Airport, the world's largest indoor waterfall. Led by the famous singer, dancer, and Fitness instructor Will Liu (刘畊宏), the dance event drew crowds of hundreds of shoppers and influencers in the airport and over ten thousand viewers who joined the event live on Douyin (Chinese version of TikTok). With participants dancing enthusiastically, the event promoted happiness, energy, and health to both local and global attendees, expressing MINISO's Joy Philosophy and adding to the celebratory atmosphere of the new store opening.

"We're thrilled to reopen our Jewel Changi Airport store with a completely upgraded format and expanded product categories," said Robin Liu, CMO and Vice President of MINISO. "We are confident that the charming Loopy theme will make a big impression on consumers. Additionally, with the new MINISO GO series, we are passionate about providing a comfortable and convenient travel experience that meets our customers' needs whether they are embarking on a global adventure or on their way back home, making MINISO their go-to destination when they are planning to travel"
