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).

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.

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.
