When I saw that they were going to open Miniso in this mall I was quite excited because I know that this store is wonderful! I arrived at 6:25 and the door was already halfway closed (the mall says it closes at 7:00pm on Sunday’s and I was completely aware of that). I wanted to see all the products and take the opportunity to buy some things, I didn't intend to be there long and even so at 6:30 the worker (the only guy in the store) began to tell us that they were already closing, 5 minutes later I had grabbed some things and he said again that they were closing the store and started mopping the floor in front of us, Since they were rushing us to leave, they were also denying entry to more customers at 6:40.

Read moreMINISO is a Chinese discount retail store founded in 2013 by Jack Ye.

MINISO manufactures and sells household and consumer goods including cosmetics, stationery, accessories, toys, pet items, snacks, candy, and kitchenware. The MINISO motto is "Life is for fun." Today they are in more than 100 countries and operate over 5,500 stores.

My favorite section was the Asian snacks, candy, and drinks. If you are looking for an inexpensive gift for a young girl, MINISO will have something...
Read moreWe were told by other employees that blind box items could be traded for display items of the same series. The employee emphasized that this was done at other locations.
When we informed the girl at the register she was very rude and dismissive despite us telling her this is what we were told by other employees.
