MINISO attributes its fast growth to its MINISO Retail Partner model, claiming it's an asset-light, high-margin network of thousands of independent franchise stores who shoulder capital and operating expenses while selling company-branded products.
These claims came into question on July 26, 2022, when Blue Orca published a scathing report about MINISO. Blue Orca determined that the company itself owns and operates about 40% of MINISO stores and, in addition, hundreds of stores are registered to company executives or persons connected to its Chairman. Blue Orca attributed MINISO's secret ownership and operation to years of declining store revenues and profits.
Blue Orca also concluded that, shortly after MINISO completed its $600 million IPO in October 2020 "that MINISO's chairman, Ye Guofu, bilked hundreds of millions of freshly raised capital from public investors through a series of crooked transactions revolving around the purchase and construction of a massive headquarters in China."
This news sent the price of MINISO American Depositary Shares sharply lower on July 26, 2022.
More recently, on July 29, 2022, Blue Orca responded to MINISO's July 28 "rebuttal," stating MINISO (1) simply ignored Blue Orca's finding that the company owns and operates about 40% of MINISO stores, and (2) admitted its chairman did not contribute funds to purchase MINISO's headquarters.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether MINISO lied about its Retail Partner model," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
