Daiso Store Grand Opening

I’ve updated this event with a specific start time. Several of us plan to meet at 10:30 at the store. We’ll shop a bit then have lunch at a local restaurant. Don’t know which one yet. Of course the store grand opening is still 9-9 for those of you with different plans. Hope to see you there!

From Creative Loafing:

The new store, located at 15702 N Dale Mabry Hwy. (within the Northdale Promenade shopping plaza), celebrates its grand opening on Feb 1, according to the company's social media. "We will be giving away an exclusive goodie bag to the first 100 customers who make a $30 purchase at this location each day," reads the post.

For the unfamiliar, Daiso stores carry thousands of products, including Japanese-inspired home decor, stationery, asian-style snacks and various types of quirky knick knacks.

The store claims to sell primarily "100-yen" ($0.65) products, but many items are typically closer to $1.75, and some as high as $15.25. Prices are also marked in yen to provide customers with a more immersive Japanese shopping experience.

The new Daiso location will be open Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-9 p.m., and Sundays, from 10 a.m.- 8 p.m.
