The Malaga-based company 'My Soul Mate' has opened Spain's first customized plush toy store, located in the Miramar shopping center in Fuengirola. The store spans 80 square meters and will create up to seven direct jobs, introducing a new concept of toy store that has been successful in the United States, Canada, and the rest of Europe. The company explains that Malaga will be the cradle for the business, but the intention is to expand to other cities in Spain. 'My Soul Mate' offers customers the experience of creating a personalized plush toy with a selection of more than 40 animal models. Customers can also choose the density of the stuffing and select from 10 different scents. Additionally, they can include a mechanism for playing personalized messages and choose from a wide variety of outfits and accessories that have been pre-selected by an expert international team. The customization process also includes the option to purchase an adoption certificate and even a finish photo as a keepsake.
The store, located on the ground floor of the shopping center, opened its doors this Friday, November 28.
Meanwhile, the director of the Miramar shopping center, Nacho Domínguez, celebrates that its first opening in Spain is at Miramar. "It is a dream space for both adults and children. Choosing Miramar as the first destination, after seeing how this model has worked outside of Spain, makes us part of the essence and originality it exudes," he commented.
The opening of the customized plush toy store in Miramar coincides with the start of the Christmas programming designed especially for families where the presence of children is "higher" due to participation in children's workshops, the Christmas dream village, visits from Santa Claus and the Three Wise Men.
