The Walt Disney Company is planning to open its first China store in Shanghai in early 2015. The store is expected to be the largest ever, due to the demands of China’s growing ranks of middle-class consumers. The Walt Disney Company’s executive vice president, Stanley Cheung, stated the flagship Disney Store will feature the largest and most diverse collection of Disney products by local and international designers.
The store will cover a massive 53,000 square feet (5,000 square meters) in the Lujiazui site in Shanghai’s financial hub, and will feature a state-of-the art Disney Store retail space covering 10,800 square feet and a Disney-themed outdoor plaza area.
