Mall of America is getting in on the Labubu craze. Driving the news: The mall announced Monday that it will soon be home to Minnesota's first Pop Mart store. The Chinese retailer sells the spiky-eared dolls and other popular collectors' items with cult followings.

At Mall of America, Pop Mart will open in the 119 North Garden unit on Level 1. And it will offer more than Labubus. The store’s IP library packs in other cultishly loved, FOMO-inspiring “collector favorites,” per a Mall of America news release—see: Crybaby, SKULLPANDA, Peach Riot. (The Labubu character is part of a series called “The Monsters.”)

Pop Mart, the designer toy brand behind the viral Labubu dolls, is headed to the Mall of America. The Bloomington megamall confirmed on Monday that Pop Mart will open later there this year, marking the Chinese company's first brick-and-mortar store in Minnesota. The shop will be located at MOA on Level 1, North.

The store will open on Upper South John Street and will span 6,200 sq ft. It will be situated close to fellow design-led lifestyle brands, KENJI and MINISO. POP MART Liverpool wil
