Daiso is often referred to as a dollar store for its 100-yen price on many items and is well known for its wide range of affordable products, including stationary, snacks, home supplies, skincare, crafting tools and other mostly Japanese imports.
The Manhattan store is set to be larger than the Brooklyn location at 4,800 square feet and will feature various products at an average price of $1.99. It will be located in the Midtown East neighborhood at 220 East 57th St.
The discount retail chain has 3,620 stores in Japan and 2,272 locations globally. There are currently more than 80 Daiso locations in the United States and the brand plans to open more than 15 U.S. stores over the next 10 years.
