Spanning two floors of colorful, chocolate fun, the store offers M&M'S® Brand Chocolate Candies in 22 colors and three varieties – Milk Chocolate, Peanut and Almond - and a wide range of M&M'S® merchandise, including apparel, kitchenware, plush and Shanghai- and China-themed M&M'S® branded products, such as mugs, tins and T-shirts, designed specifically for the Shanghai M&M'S World® store. M&M'S World® Shanghai is the fifth M&M'S World® flagship store, joining the other iconic stores in Times Square, New York, Orlando, Las Vegas and Leicester Square London, which are visited by millions of people every year.  

"We are thrilled to add M&M'S World® Shanghai store to our global store foot print. Shanghai is the ideal city for the first M&M'S World® store in Asia, due to the city's truly global feel and appeal," said Brian Schiegg, General Manager, Mars Retail Group. "The location in the Brilliance Shimao International Plaza made perfect sense for the world's largest chocolate brand, since East Nanjing Road is one of the busiest pedestrian streets in China and a highly visited tourist destination in Shanghai. M&M'S World® Shanghai welcomes visitors to a unique retail experience that combines shopping and entertainment, with an eye-catching, iconic-looking store that engages and excites fans of the M&M'S® brand from all over the world," he said.

The store combines iconic Chinese landmarks and cultural elements with M&M'S® in a colorful and fun way, making it a new "must-see" destination in Shanghai for both domestic and international visitors. Visitors to the store will be greeted by popular Red and Yellow M&M'S® characters standing outside the main entryway, or Kung Fu Characters – Blue and Green dressed in kung fu clothing at the store's side entrance within the mall.

Yellow Panda in the Bamboo Garden features Yellow disguised as China's national treasure amidst bamboo stalks aglow in vibrant M&M'S® colors and a lantern lit by a red M&M'S® lentil. As guests walk up the stairs to the second floor, they are greeted by a large Moon Gate that previews the Great Wall of Chocolate. Large, colorful Character Columns depicting the M&M'S® characters and their signature catchphrases are also seen throughout the store. Daily performances by M&M'S® characters allow visitors to engage with the life-sized characters in person.

The main focal point of the second floor features the Great Wall of Chocolate - the world's largest M&M'S® candy wall - offering visitors an amazing photo moment and a chance to create their own customized blend of M&M'S® Brand Chocolate Candies from 132 individual tubes.  Standing guard at either side of the Great Wall of Chocolate are Red and Orange dressed as Warriors.  In addition, the Lantern Garden features numerous hanging lanterns that illuminate and change colors as visitors step on the platform.

"The opening of M&M'S World® Shanghai, a partnership between the M&M'S® brand and Mars Retail Group, represents a significant investment and commitment to the Chinese market by Mars, Incorporated. We look forward to celebrating the world's most popular confectionery brand in China in a new engaging way that is guaranteed to make M&M'S World® Shanghai one of the city's sweetest attractions," said Clarence Mak, President, Mars Chocolate China.

In keeping with Mars' commitment to sustainability and consumers' growing interest in the subject, M&M'S World® Shanghai uses sustainable materials and energy efficient fixtures and lighting.
