Other Facts about the Miniso store:
The Miniso brand founder is Jack Ye. He came up with the inspiration for the brand while on vacation, with his family, back in 2013. He realized that stores that had good quality, inexpensive products were mainly manufactured in China. He understood many times that the higher the price meant better the quality and if an item is low price then it means it is bad quality, but he felt it was time for good quality items to be able to have low prices, too.
The brand's slogan is “Life is for fun.”
The logo is of a shopping bag in combination with the brand's name and a smiley face graphic. The smiley face correlates with their slogan of having fun and overall happiness.
It will be nice to see Augusta's experience with the store. No opening date has been released just yet.
