Quirky Japanese store to open Dallas location within months
The global retail chain known as Daiso, hailing from Japan, is set to inaugurate a fresh wave of stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth region in the upcoming months, spanning various Texan cities including Dallas. The newest establishment will find its home at the Shops at Park Lane. This heralds an era of expansion across Texas for the Japanese retailer. It is understood that the Dallas location should be open by the end of the year.
Daiso, established in Japan in 1977, boasts an extensive array of merchandise encompassing kitchenware, beauty supplies, stationery, gift wrapping materials, electronic accessories, greeting cards, party favors, and cuddly plush toys. Additionally, they offer an intriguing assortment of snacks, featuring unique options such as wasabi peanuts.
Approximately 90 percent of their inventory comprises of disposable plastic novelties, often characterized by vibrant pink hues. The majority of their products are affordably priced at under $10. Notably, they feature a commendable selection of confectionery, including soft jellies in unconventional flavors like tomato, alongside more conventional choices like mango and strawberry. Unsurprisingly, this has led to comparisons with the Dollar General chain which stocks similar products, albeit without the Japanese twist.
Daiso initially made its debut in the DFW area back in 2015 with a store in Carrollton. Since then, they have expanded their presence, opening outlets in various cities such as Irving, Plano, Frisco, Euless, Grapevine, Fort Worth, Arlington, and Dallas at Mockingbird Commons.
