Miniso opening in former Kirkland’s at Clovis Crossing

Miniso, the popular retail store offering a variety of international snacks, toys, and lifestyle products, is set to open its third Fresno location this fall.

The store will occupy the former Kirkland’s, a home goods store which closed last year, joining retailers including Ulta, Old Navy, and Famous Footwear in the Clovis Crossing Shopping Center.

The store is estimated to open in three months, Commercial Retail Associates told The Fresno Bee Monday.

Typically, an opening date is announced 20 days out, they said.

The Clovis Crossing location is part of the brand’s expansion, adding to 11 locations across the San Joaquin Valley.

Miniso was founded in China in 2013 and has expanded across the United States to over 330 locations nationwide.

The retailer has become popular for its variety of beauty products, snacks, plush toys, stationary, collectable figurines, and blind boxes — a retail trend that consists of a sealed box with a mystery toy inside.

The Clovis location will add to two other existing Fresno stores, one in Fashion Fair that opened in 2024 and the other in the Villaggio Shopping center that opened in May.
