Premise

After the events of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode "Minnie's Bow-tique", this TV series is about the adventures of Minnie Mouse and her best friend Daisy Duck as they run Minnie's Bow-tique, a speciality shop stocked only with colorful bows and bow-ties. Minnie ends all the Season 1 episodes saying, "There's no business like bow business!".

In Season 3, Minnie, Daisy and Cuckoo-Loca open a pet grooming salon adjacent to the Bow-tique. In Season 4, Minnie, Daisy and Cuckoo-Loca go on international trips, visiting cities like London, Paris, Venice and Tokyo. In Season 6, Minnie, Daisy and Cuckoo-Loca start a new party planning business. In Season 8, they go on all sorts of adventures while camping.
