CastleCourt: Miniso to open in former Vila store in May

CastleCourt is set to welcome another new retailer next month.

It has been announced that family lifestyle product retailer Miniso will be opening in the city shopping centre on May 5 in the space of the former Vila store.

This opening will come just a few weeks ahead of New Look reopening in the centre on May 25 in the place of the former Debenhams store. The New Look shop size will be just under 8,000 sq. ft and the store opening will create around 15 jobs, including management.

On their social media page, Miniso said: "Hello Belfast. We are so excited to be bringing our beautiful products to you with our grand opening at CastleCourt.

"It’ll be hard to miss us on Friday 5 May at 12pm as we’ll be celebrating our opening in style with our super-sized mascot, PenPen, along with balloons, cupcakes and a big buzz. Find us on the Ground Floor, Royal Avenue Entrance.

"And for our first day customers? if you're one of the first in the queue you'll enjoy a grand opening goody bag* worth over £25 with your purchase. Bring yourself, bring your family, bring your friends.

"Our store is a treasure trove of affordable, stylish toys, tech, homewares, accessories and more. We can’t wait to see you!"

Earlier this week CastleCourt teased there are three stores opening in the centre in May, with Miniso and New Look being two of them.

Work is also ongoing in the space beside The Avenue cinema which opened earlier this year. Signs have gone up saying 'X marks the spot' but no details have been released on what is set to open in this space.
