“A massive retail innovation in Changsha has captured global attention after setting a new benchmark in the snack industry. A newly opened mega-store, often described as the world’s largest snack store, has earned recognition from Guinness World Records for offering more than 35,000 different snack products under one roof.

Spanning an enormous 12,000 square meters—roughly the size of 30 basketball courts—the store features a vast collection of snacks sourced from around 70 countries and regions.

From local Chinese specialties to international treats such as Japanese chocolates and Russian candies, the store provides a truly global culinary experience. According to estimates, trying one product per day would take nearly 96 years to complete the entire selection.

Unlike traditional retail formats, the store is designed as an immersive “snack amusement park,” with themed zones such as instant noodle sections, beverage areas, and global snack stations. Visitors can explore, taste, and interact with products in a unique shopping environment.

Industry experts say the concept reflects a growing trend toward experiential retail, especially in cities like Changsha, known for vibrant consumer culture and innovation.

The store’s opening attracted massive crowds, with long queues forming as eager visitors rushed to explore the record-breaking space.”
