MESA, AZ — Daiso is expanding in the Valley; the business is headed to Mesa!
The new storefront will open its doors this Saturday, September 23. The first 100 customers to spend at least $30 either Saturday or Sunday will receive an “exclusive tote bag and a plushie.”
“Arizona-based Daiso customers have shown us through our online business and social media their desire for us to have more stores within the state, influencing our immediate growth strategy in this region,” said John Clarke, chief development officer for Daiso USA, in a news release sent to ABC15.
