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.

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.

POP MART continues a run of signings and openings at Liverpool ONE, with the destination celebrating its busiest year for store launches since 2008. Last month, MINISO made its Liverpool debut in a 3,000 sq ft store, following the long-awaited arrivals of Sephora, TFG London and Uniqlo.
