Disney shop will open in north China's port city of Tianjin next month, which will be the first Disney shop in Chinese mainland.

Covering 600-square meters of floor space in the Far-East Department Store, the shop will sell nearly 1,000 categories of commodities by over 20 authorized factories including garments, bedding, toys, stationery, and books.

All the commodities will keep pace with that of Hong Kong, said a manager with the department store.

The Tianjin Far-East Department Store, with 57,000 square meters of total floor space, has eight floors for 500 brands, including cosmetics, shoes, watches, garments, and porcelain products.
