All-In-One Japanese Retail Stores

Lifestyle Store 'Ebisu' is Opening at the Mall of America

— February 18, 2022 — Art & Design
'Ebisu' is a newly-founded Japanese lifestyle retailer operating across the United States. The store first launched in Colorado, and its newest location is opening in early 2022 at the 'Mall of America' in Minnesota. As a lifestyle retailer similar to 'Miniso' or 'Oomomo,' Ebisu sells a wide range of products such as garden tools, housewares, CPG foods, and even clothes and jewelry.

Ebisu uses a large single-room layout where each of its products are segmented into general sections. Essentially, Ebisu offers a range of products similar to a miniature supermarket but in a smaller space. Ebisu's display shelves are also catered to each type of product they hold. For example, the stores feature large aesthetic displays of toys and plushies in the middle of the aisles, whereas more luxury jewelry and cosmetic displays are behind illuminated glass enclosures.

As for food products, the retailer places food on either racks or shelves based on the type of packaging and the size of the product.
