MIGNON Celebrates Minions Day with Delightful Treats

March 20 marks a significant day for fans of the beloved Minions franchise, and MIGNON, a popular mini croissant specialty store, joins the celebration!

Founded nearly 30 years ago in Hakata, Kyushu, MIGNON has been serving up freshly baked mini croissants that have captured the hearts of many. As Japan's first mini croissant specialty shop established in 1996, MIGNON operates 13 locations across the nation. The flagship store, located at JR Hakata, despite its compact size of just 5 tsubo (approx. 16.5 square meters), continues to attract approximately 3,000 visitors daily, selling around 18 million croissants each year.

Over the decades, MIGNON has built a loyal customer base, maintaining its status as a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. One bite of their signature mini croissants brings a flaky texture that perfectly complements the rich flavors inside.
