Daiso, the renowned global retail chain offering a wide range of affordable and unique products, officially opened on February 1. Hours before the official debut, a huge line formed around the building at Northdale Promenade (15702 N Dale Mabry Hwy), and judging from general reviews from the opening weekend, it was worth the wait.

The official store hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Since entering the US market in 2005, Daiso has continued to expand its global footprint while maintaining its commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. The new Tampa location will feature an extensive range of products, including Japanese-inspired home decor, stationery, food, and more—a go-to destination for shoppers seeking accessible and innovative offerings.
