Miniso returning to Montgomery Mall for cage match with Pop Mart


Miniso
 operated a store at Westfield Montgomery Mall from 2021 to 2025. But the company appears to have realized it might have made a hasty decision to exit, now that Pop Mart is preparing to open a store at the Bethesda mall. And it looks like they're reclaiming their old haunt on Level 1 near Macy's. Of course, Miniso sells a much wider variety of products than toy retailer Pop Mart, such as kitchenware, home goods, and health and fitness items. But a significant portion of its Japanese-inspired (don't tell Chairman Xi!) Chinese merchandise is dedicated to blind bag and oversized plush toys, making this a high-stakes faceoff for the toy collector's dollar at Montgomery Mall.

Is this the alternative to the White House cage match?

PopMart, HeyTea, Miniso. Goodness this mall is surely going to be packed. These are the same additions that keep Tyson's Corner Packed on Weekends and Weekdays
