GLENDALE, AZ — As Daiso gets ready to open its doors in Mesa this week, the popular Japanese discount store is striving for further expansion in the Valley…. it’s now headed to Glendale!
“We've seen the excitement and enthusiasm from our customers,” said Don Mastriona, Daiso’s Regional Director for the Southwest area, in an interview as he showed ABC15 a first look of the Mesa location.
“We are super excited and looking forward to the opportunity to allow everybody in Arizona to discover Daiso. So, we have some great sites on the map and our next locations will be in the Glendale area and we're excited to bring that to Arizona here in the very short few months,” said Mastriona.
The third location is set to open near 59th and Northern Avenues in Glendale.
“It will be opening this year with all projections go, we've got a great team collaborating on supply chain, we've got great general contractors in the area that are supporting us and getting the store set up. If you go by our 59th and Northern location, you'll see our Daiso logo already out on the front of the building. So yes, we do anticipate to open before the end of the year there,” Mastriona confirmed to ABC15.
