“Our first blind box store marks a major milestone for Miniso,” says Saad Usman, Chief Operating Officer of Miniso UK. “The unknown element of blind boxes adds mystery and excitement to the shopping experience and we’re delighted to be bringing this special store to London. Blind boxes are now a major part of our global strategy, and this new store marks the latest development as we move forward with our global expansion.”

Miniso has 20 other locations throughout the U.K. in Manchester, Belfast, London, and more. The surprise toy store opens Friday, Sept. 29. The store launch will include a meet and greet with Miniso’s mascot PenPen, a live drummer performance, and goody bags.
