A Japan-based home goods retailer appears to have set its sights on Johnson County.
Two new stores are in the works for Daiso in Johnson County — one in Shawnee and one in Olathe.
Both stores will open later this year
- One new Daiso store will open at the Olathe Pointe shopping center, in a space previously occupied by party supply store Party City.
- Another new store will open at the 10 Quivira Plaza shopping center off Quivira Road and Shawnee Mission Parkway.
- Both stores are targeting a summer opening, according to the company’s website.
Daiso is a “one-stop-shop” for household items
- The global retailer offers a wide variety of home goods and accessories.
- Some of the items customers can find at Daiso include kitchenware, stationery, cosmetic items, gardening tools and toys. The company website boasts 80,000 items in its stock.
- The word “daiso” translates to “large creation” in Japanese.
These mark Daiso’s first stores in Johnson County
- The Olathe and Shawnee stores will also serve as the first in the wider Kansas City metro area for the retailer.
- Across the state line, two new Missouri stores are in the works in Brentwood and Chesterfield, Missouri.
- The roughly 50-year-old company has more than 150 stores across the United States, with several more openings on the way.
