Xiaomi just announced the opening of its 10,000th store in China and revealed plans to soon sell its upcoming electric cars through similar outlets.

The announcement was made by Lei Jun today on Twitter as congratulation to everyone involved in the opening of the Xiaomi Store. The Xiaomi CEO also shared images of the store along with the celebrations associated with it.

The 10,000th Xiaomi Store was inaugurated on October 30th in Shenzhen, China. It has an area of nearly 600 square meters and promises to offer a more premium and interactive experience. The store also features a massive curved display atop which could serve as a great tool to reel potential buyers in.

The CEO further revealed that we will soon get to see more of such large stores in China, and that they will even one day be used to sell cars.

For the uninitiated, Lei Jun is also the CEO of the newly incorporated Xiaomi Motors company that’s working on the mass production of electric cars of its own by the first half of 2024.

Xiaomi has already diverged into several other markets including smart home products, TVs, and electric bikes, and large stores like these will thus soon be a one-stop destination for all kinds of Xiaomi electronics.

Moreover, the company has predominantly been an online seller when it came to its smartphones, more so outside of China, so the opening of stores like these could be an indicator of a new retail strategy.
