MINISO Edmonton follows the brand’s “Super IP + Super Store” strategy, bringing together a vibrant selection of global IP collaborations and comprehensive product selections of around 5,000 SKUs. The store features collections from popular global IPs such as Sanrio (including Hello Kitty), Disney (Stitch, Winnie the Pooh) , and Harry Potter, alongside MINISO’s owned IPs — Gift Bear & Friends and YOYO.

New arrivals include the Hello Kitty Pop Star series, Sanrio Fox Island series, and Sanrio Animal Adventure series vinyl plush surprise box, all debuting in Canada.
