Overseas Retail: Openings

A trio of global retailers have recently opened stores in high-profile cities. Details below:

* Collectibles retailer Minoso (Guangzhou, China) has taken the wraps off its latest-format flagship store in Amsterdam. The three-story, 10,700-square-foot flagship features a large-scale Stitch-themed figure at its storefront and several IP-themed zones for such brands as Sanrio, Disney, Harry Potter, BT21, Care Bear, Minecraft and the new One Piece collection. In all, the space houses roughly 4000 SKUs spanning plush toys, blind boxes, mini collectibles and lifestyle accessories.

* South Korean beauty brand Monclos (Seoul) has opened what it describes as “a brand experience space” in its home city. “By infusing the rhythm and sensibility of Seoul with a rich sensory experience, Monclos has transformed itself from a beauty store into a destination where the tastes of Seoulians truly come to life,” the company said in a news release.

* Mountain sports lifestyle brand Salomon (Annecy, France) has unveiled a new concept store in Shanghai. Located in a historic, French-style building on Anfu Road, the space intermixes touches from the brand’s Sportstyle store in Paris and Shanghai’s urban culture.
