(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Modern Retail, Miniso is shifting from mall-based stores to larger formats positioned alongside Walmart, Target, and Ulta, with owned IP as the anchor category.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): owned IP in a larger retail footprint means higher margins and more control over merchandising. When you're in a mall, you're competing for the shopper who walked in looking for shopping. When you're next to Target, you're capturing the shopper who already came for groceries. Miniso moves from 'destination retailer' to 'capture on the way out.' This week: if you're in wholesale, map which channels are declining (malls) and which are growing (big-box adjacent). Then ask whether your product is better positioned as a checkout grab or a destination category.\nWhat that means for you: Mall retail is dead, but that doesn't mean physical retail is dead. Miniso's move is to follow the customer to where they already are, not where they used to go. Owned IP matters because it's the moat — you can't get a Miniso design at Target, so you go into the Miniso shop. Most DTC brands don't think about this: they sell online and treat retail as a channel. Miniso treats retail as a brand experience and uses owned IP to make that experience defensible.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/operations/miniso-plans-larger-us-stores-with-more-focus-on-owned-ip/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
