After a lovely dinner at Muteki Ramen & Izakaya, we took a stroll around the quiet strip mall nearby and I was elated that there was a Miniso. As someone from NorCal, I love going to Miniso and looking at the various blind boxes. Recently, I have been looking specifically for the Petty Dust dinosaur figurines and was so happy when this location still had a few.
Each Petty Dust dinosaur "eats" a specific negative emotion, and even if you don't believe in little figurines helping you emotionally regulate, the tiny dinosaurs are super fuzzy and cute. I ended up getting two Petty Dust dinos at this location, and although I got two of the same dino (Pang), I didn't mind at all.
This Miniso closes at 21:00, which was great for us, since we had a late-ish dinner that evening. It's quite spacious inside and there are plenty of aisles neatly stocked with products ranging from stationery to makeup.
There's plenty of parking and I wish we had the time to return to this Miniso location during our anniversary trip, but alas.
Looks like it's just an excuse for us to return sometime in the near future. We will be back. read more
