Ebisu, the sprawling Japanese megastore, is coming to Tampa. Founded in Osaka more than 10 years ago, the lifestyle store has exploded in popularity across the globe and has become viral in the U.S. for its Japanese snacks, toys and more.
Coming to Market Square at Tampa Palms (6234 Commerce Drive), the Tampa location will be the company’s biggest store yet, opening in the former JoAnn’s space, as first reported by the Tampa Bay Business Journal. No opening date has been announced, though the new location is already listed on Ebisu’s “Coming Soon” section on its national store list. Ebisu recently opened in Orlando, and Miami is also listed as another site for its Florida expansion.

The stores carry a big physical footprint, with massive selections including snacks, toys, video games, home goods, trading cards, and beauty and lifestyle brands. The frequently rotating products offer seasonal selections alongside curated Asian goods. Ebisu promises “a more modern way to shop Asian goods.”
“From pantry staples to social-ready finds, EBISU combines usefulness, discovery, and a cleaner retail experience in one place,” the company says.
Ebisu currently has more than 20 locations throughout the U.S., with Tampa one of the next to open as its growth continues. The new Tampa store will showcase Ebisu’s selection across more than 20,000 square feet of retail space.
