M&Ms World Shanghai reopened yesterday in Shanghai Shimao International Plaza. The newly remodeled 1600sqm interactive store, which offers an immersive, personalised experience with the M&M brand to residents and tourists, remains the only one based in Asia.

The store is part of the global M&Ms retail business, which includes My M&Ms’ e-commerce sites and a B2B channel in the US and Europe.

The M&Ms World Shanghai experience store features a “Great Wall of Chocolate” made out of more than 1 million M&Ms, a personalised printer, and a device that scans customers to create a personalised M&Ms avatar. It also features an improved checkout experience that allows mobile payment options from Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay.
