Daiso is coming to Tucson, bringing its unique Japanese-inspired snacks, household items, beauty supplies, gifts, and more to the Ventana Village Shopping Center in the Foothills.

The space at 6884 E. Sunrise Dr. coincidentally used to house a Tuesday Morning — a national store that sold similar items. The space is in the area near El Charro Cafe, Commoner & Co., and Piazza Gavi.

There’s no exact opening date yet but they’re aiming to open soon this summer.

Daiso was founded as a 100 yen store — it translates to about 75 cents — or the equivalent of a dollar store, but its U.S. locations sell items with a range of prices. The first U.S. store opened in 2005 and perhaps you’ve already shopped at one up north in Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, or Chandler.

As previously mentioned, Daiso offers several food and snack items on its shelves. Popular items found at other stores in the past include Kracie Popin’ Cookin’ Ramen, Pizza Pretz (biscuits made from the same company that makes Pocky), and Glico Caplico Mini — a candy treat that tastes like an ice cream cone.

The snacks in stores rotate, giving you reasons to stop by often.

Daiso is located at 6884 E. Sunrise Dr. For more information, visit daisous.com.
