Mannings, one of Hong Kong’s largest health and beauty chains, will cease all retail operations in mainland China, both online and offline, as it adjusts its strategy in the highly competitive market.
In a letter to its members, Mannings China said “its physical stores on the mainland will close permanently after January 15, 2026”.
Its online sales channels will wind down even earlier. Mannings’ official mini mall on Tencent Holdings’ WeChat will stop service at midnight on December 28, 2025, while its stores on Alibaba Group Holding’s Tmall, JD.com and PDD, along with a specialty store for health products on Tmall, will halt operations on December 26. Alibaba owns the Post.
