Braehead Shopping Centre, part of SGS Group, has announced the upcoming opening of pop culture retailer, MINISO – marking the brand’s first store in Glasgow and only its second in Scotland.
The arrival of MINISO at Braehead signals the brand’s continued UK expansion, with 39 stores now open nationwide. Located on Lower-Level opposite MAC, the 2,267sq ft store is set to open in the coming months.
