Japanese retailer Daiso announced the opening of its second United States distribution center in DeSoto.
“Texas just makes sense from a centralized area within the United States as we begin to venture from the West Coast to the East Coast,” Twitty said. “The DeSoto area is a great location in terms of highway capabilities and networking to our future stores, as well as accessibility down to Houston and the port.”“We have a lot of plans over the next several years to continue to open up more stores in Texas,” Twitty said.
Twitty said Daiso could not give an exact number of stores it will open in Texas. But, for the foreseeable future, the DeSoto location will serve as Daiso’s one and only Texas distribution center.Advertisement “It is primarily going to serve our physical brick-and-mortar strategy,” Twitty said. “But it also has the flexibility and capability to support e-commerce when we choose to expand upon that.”Daiso, which has stores in Irving, Euless, Grapevine, Plano, Arlington, Frisco and Fort Worth, wThough some have characterized Daiso as a Japanese dollar store, Twitty said he thinks differently.
“I wouldn’t call us a dollar store. We definitely have a couple of different price points that we offer,” Twitty said. “Our mission is to bring that Japanese lifestyle and product, introduce that to the U.S. consumer and expand that across the U.S. No matter where you go in the stores, it’s unique.”
