In addition to the recent openings, MINISO continues to strengthen its presence in key shopping destinations, including securing prime retail spaces in the Fashion Show in Nevada and Northridge Fashion Center in California.

Notably, the retail space in the Fashion Show, which is known as one of the largest shopping malls in the U.S, spans nearly 3,000 square feet. Meanwhile, MINISO plans to further expand its footprint before year end by entering two new states: North Carolina, and New Hampshire. These strategic locations continue MINISO's trend of selecting major areas, such as shopping malls, business districts, transportation hubs and community centers, as the Company has been making efforts to enhance brand visibility and attract a diverse customer base.

The brand has consistently set new sales records since the grand opening of its global store at Times Square in New York in May. Looking ahead, MINISO plans to open at least 15 more stores in the U.S. by the end of the year and push ahead with its brand upgrade strategy. For example, the Company this year introduced the concepts of "Super Store," "Super IP," and " Super Product." The global store at Times Square inNew York has played a pivotal role in showcasing these initiatives and achieved outstanding performance.

As part of the strategy, MINISO has rolled out products featuring popular IPs such as Barbie, Snoopy, Disney 100 and Sanrio.
