FINALLY!

Been asking for a Daiso closer to home for years.


Is it substantively different from any of the US dollar store chains?

 

 

Hoping they keep up with the store better than this.  The other thing I noticed the handful of times I've gone in Dollar Tree is (at least the one's I've been in) there's always a line 8 people deep and it moves super slow and no self-checkouts.  I've often wondered if it has something to do with their POS system running slow or perhaps people not having payment ready in-hand, but I've been in an Aldi's before with a line 15 people deep and it took about 4-5 minutes for the cashier to clear the entire line.

Trust me, I've never seen a Daiso look anything like that.

They're in more "economically viable" locations... even Grapevine Mills has one

 

 

LOL

 

This is one of those places you go in without a list of items in-mind and buy a bunch of stuff that a ) you didn't know even exists and b ) you don't necessarily need but want to have it just because it's interesting.

I'm into Japanese culture (I won't even eat ramen without chopsticks, now) so I'm going in there every time with a purpose.

I think Jeriat was '04 if memory serves.  My son was in marching band, a 6'-5" clarinet player.  If you were in band you might have known who he was.

I graduated '07, so I may need more help on that.
