Daiso was originally opened first as a [[100-yen shop|street vending shop]] dealing with 100-[[Japanese yen|yen]] products known as “Yano Shoten" by [[Hirotake Yano]] in 1972. He later founded Daiso in 1977.<ref name=vision>{{cite web|title=Corporate Vision|url=http://www.daisoglobal.com/about/vision/|website=Daiso Global|access-date=25 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141224114056/http://www.daisoglobal.com/about/vision/|archive-date=24 December 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Daiso categorizes all of its own branded items using the [[morpheme]] ''za'' ({{lang|ja|ザ}}), the Japanese representation of the English word "the", plus a category. For example, ''za hanabi'' ({{lang|ja|ザ・花火}}) is the category for fireworks, and ''za purasuchikku'' {{Nihongo||ザ・プラスチック}} is the category for plastic items such as plastic buckets and trays.
Daiso often uses such locations as previous [[pachinko]] parlours for its retail outlets. They spend a lot of money on shelving and fixtures to help the stores compete with more high-end retailers. The stock of items retailed at each shop is varied frequently in order to increase repeat customers.

Daiso Industries Co., Ltd. (株式会社大創産業, Kabushiki gaisha Daisōsangyō, branded in katakana as ダイソー) is a large franchise of 100-yen shops founded in Japan. Its headquarters are in Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture. Daiso has locations in 25 countries and regions worldwide.

History

[edit]

Daiso was originally opened as a street vending shop with 100-yen products, known as “Yano Shoten", by Hirotake Yano in 1972. He later founded Daiso in 1977.[3]

Business method

[edit]

Daiso categorizes all of its own branded items using the morpheme za (ザ), the Japanese representation of the English word "the", plus a category. For example, za hanabi (ザ・花火) is the category for fireworks, and za purasuchikku (ザ・プラスチック) is the category for plastic items such as plastic buckets and trays.

In 2004, Daiso started selling items priced at multiples of 100 yen, such as 200, 300, 400 and 500 yen.[3]

Locations

[edit]

Daiso has 3,620 stores in Japan, and nearly 2,300 stores overseas in Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Laos, Kuwait, Macau, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Myanmar, New Zealand, Oman, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United States of America, and Vietnam.[4][5][6]

The first Daiso store opened up in Abbotsford, Victoria in 2010, selling thousands of items at a flat rate of $2.80.[13] Since then it has expanded to 13 stores in New South Wales, 14 in Queensland, three in South Australia, 12 in Victoria and 2 in Perth (at Westfield Carousel and Lakeside Joondalup). The stores range from 209 m2 (2,250 sq ft) to 1,000 m2 (11,000 sq ft) (Midtown Plaza, Melbourne store), which is currently the largest in Australia. Almost every item is AUD $3.30, or US$2.33, except for a small range of products (5% of total range) that is sold at varying prices from $3 to $15.

Daiso opened its first corporate Canadian store on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia in April 2021, with plans to expand nationally.[17] With the opening of its Surrey location in March 2023, there are now four stores within Canada.[18]

A franchise store, owned by Fairchild Group, was operated in Richmond, British Columbia from 2003 to 2019, when it was rebranded under Fairchild's Oomomo banner. Oomomo has continued to sell some Daiso products, but this supply will be discontinued as Daiso expands.[17]
