The popular Japanese discount chain Daiso will be opening its first Manhattan location in July.
New York City currently has two other Daiso locations in other boroughs, with one that recently opened in February in Brooklyn and the other in Queens.
Daiso is often referred to as a dollar store for its 100-yen price on many items and is well known for its wide range of affordable products, including stationary, snacks, home supplies, skincare, crafting tools and other mostly Japanese imports.
