Japanese home goods retailer Daiso has quickly made its mark in the state, attracting long lines and large crowds at its first two stores in Fort Collins and Aurora last month.
Now, the chain is opening a third Colorado store in Centennial, with a two-day grand opening Saturday and Sunday, April 12-13.
“Daiso has received so much love from Colorado before we even announced our expansion to the state. We’re very excited to continue opening locations in Colorado and invite the community to discover Daiso,” said Daiso USA’s brand and content marketing manager, Kimika Rhone.
Located at Cherry Knolls, 6770 S. University Blvd., shoppers can expect a variety of products, ranging from Sanrio stationery and Japanese snacks and drinks to plush toys, beauty essentials, home decor, kitchenware, gardening supplies and for the first time in Colorado, Daiso’s Standard Products line.
Launched in Japan in 2021, Standard Products is a take on a lot of Daiso’s popular categories, including elevated home decor and cookware, Rhone said. From home fragrances to eco-friendly accessories, the line focuses on sustainability and is designed to reduce environmental impact while maintaining style and function.
Daiso’s store in Oswego Commons in Oswego, Ill., debuted the Standard Products line in the U.S. earlier this year. This will be the retailer’s second U.S. store to carry these products, based on their store locator.
The Cherry Knolls store’s hours of operation will be Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The first 100 customers to make a minimum purchase of $30 will receive a special Daiso goodie bag.
Up next, Daiso plans to have a store in Southlands Shopping Mall in Aurora, tentatively scheduled to open Aug. 9, and a location in Arvada’s Northridge Shopping Center, 7821 Wadsworth Blvd., scheduled for Dec. 13.
