Daiso — a dollar store— opened its first location in New York City’s Flushing, Queens, in March.
The store has a cult following, according to Time Out, because of its consistently low prices on quality Japanese goods.
We went to the new location just days after it opened and found a huge variety of home goods, Japanese snacks, beauty products, toys, and so much more.
While it was clear they were dealing with the rush of just having opened, the shelves were pretty well-stocked, and the store didn’t look like it had been ransacked by excited shoppers — even though there were plenty of them there.
Although Daiso is advertised as a dollar store, there are signs that say everything costs $1.99 unless stated otherwise.
Most things were $1.99, and some were marked at either a lower or higher price point.
Here’s what the new location looks like and what you can buy there.
