The store will be located on the ground floor of Exhibition Square, opposite Primark.
Saad Usman, COO at MINISO UK, said: “We’re delighted to announce the launch of our store at Metrocentre. We believe that the opening of this store, our first in the region, is the perfect place for us to continue our expansion in the UK.”
“At MINISO UK, we’re committed to getting the retail industry back on its feet, demonstrated not only by the investment into our fantastic new store, but also the creation of 10-15 new jobs in the local market.
“With innovative and exciting products that are high-quality and great value, we look forward to welcoming customers of all ages through our doors on opening day and beyond.”
Tom Nuttall of Sovereign Centros, Leasing & Asset Manager for Metrocentre said, “MINISO UK is an exciting and welcomed addition to the Centre. With a unique product offering, we are confident it will provide customers with a one-of-a-kind retail experience and complement our extensive mix of international brands & high street favourites.
