M&M's World (also M&M's or M&M's store) is a retail store that specializes in M&M's candy and merchandise. The first location was on the Las Vegas Strip in 1997, with others in Orlando, Florida, New York City, Henderson, Nevada, London,[1][2] Shanghai, Bloomington, Minnesota and Berlin.

Locations

Las Vegas

The first location opened on the Las Vegas Strip in 1997, in the Showcase Mall next to the MGM Grand.[3][4] The four-story[5] M&M's World includes a gift shop on the first floor. The shop leads to a 3D movie theater that shows the short subject I Lost My M In Vegas. Also on display are M&M's in nearly every color, and a replica of the No. 18 M&M's race car that is driven in the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series by Kyle Busch. M&M's clothing is sold on the second floor and on the stairs that go up to the second floor are pictures showing how the M&M's characters have evolved over the years painted on the wall.

The Las Vegas location received eight million visitors in 2007.[1]

Orlando

Located in The Florida Mall, the 17,500-square-foot[3] Orlando store was named "international store of the year" for 2005 by the Institute of Store Planners and VM+SD magazine (which covers store design and visual merchandising).[6]

In late 2019, Mars Retail Group announced that they would be moving its Florida Mall location to Disney Springs, with an opening set for 2020.[7] The Florida Mall location closed on August 21, 2020 with the opening of the Disney Springs location scheduled for the end of 2020.[8]

It officially opened on January 30, 2021.

New York City

M&M's World New York.

The New York City store is within a 24,000-square-foot (2,200 m2), three-level glass box, in Times Square. It includes a 50-foot (15 m)-wide, two-story-high, "wall of chocolate", made up of 72 continuous candy-filled tubes.

M&M's World in Times Square is New York City's largest candy store, and offers merchandise such as themed clothing, dishware, watches, and piggy banks. Before it opened on December 7, 2006,[9] nearly 13,000 people lined up for the 198 jobs, which were in demand because of a more generous health benefit package than is usually offered for an entry-level retail job in New York.[10]

London

On 13 June 2011, M&M's World shop in London opened to the public, in Leicester Square. The site was formerly occupied by the Swiss Centre.[11][12]

It is the world's largest candy store, at 35,000 sq ft (3,250 sq metres).[13] The retail space was built as part of Westminster City Council's regeneration of the local area, to create a "world class destination", based on the similar remodelling of Times Square New York.[14]

Henderson

Mars Incorporated has a store close to its Ethel M Chocolate Factory in Henderson, Nevada. It is situated near to the plant's Ethel M Botanical Cactus Garden, which is one of the world's largest collections of its kind, and is based on the naturalistic English landscape garden model.[15]

Shanghai

Entrance to M&M's World Shanghai.

First opened on August 8, 2014,[16] it is the only branch of M&M's World in Asia. The 1,600-square-meter store is located in the busy Shanghai Shimao International Plaza. The store re-opened in December 2018 after a remodel.[17]

Mall of America

In 2020, it was announced that Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota would be the first M&M's retail store to open in the Midwest, and fourth location in the United States with others in Orlando, New York City, and Las Vegas.[18] The store officially opened to the public on May 1, 2021.[19]

Berlin

A M&M's store has been open on the Kurfürstendamm in Berlin on October 2, 2021.[20]
