Stores of Pop Mart International, a trendy toy maker, have been very popular in China's financial center Shanghai.

Over the past two to three years, Pop Mart has accelerated the pace of store openings in Shanghai's central business districts.

Pop Mart International saw its shares rise by as much as 100 percent during its debut on the Hong Kong stock exchange in December last year.
