At the launch event, Miniso’s Australian Executive Vice President said of their decision to establish their HQ in Melbourne:
We like to come to this market. One of the world’s most liveable cities, lowest costs on the eastern seaboard, excellent access to Asia Pacific, world class infrastructure, great people etc. Hence, today, I am pleased to announce that Miniso Australia will establish its headquarters in Melbourne. The Melbourne-based headquarters will better support our business development in Victoria and Australia as a whole. We like doing business in Melbourne. In particular, we have great support from Victorian Government Trade & Investment Office in Hong Kong, Invest Victoria and Invest Assist team in Melbourne. That make us coming to Victoria a lot easier. I wish to acknowledge and thank their assistance provided to us.
