Daiso, a popular Japanese dollar store that opened its first Tucson location earlier this year, is hiring for its second Tucson location.
On a quiet weekday morning, visitors to the Old Spanish Trail Marketplace stopped to snap pictures of the “coming soon” sign.
Daiso, a popular Japanese dollar store that opened its first Tucson location earlier this year, will open a second store at East 22nd Street and South Harrison Road.
The global chain will occupy the space formerly used by Dress Barn at 9650 E. 22nd St.
This summer, Daiso opened its first local store in the Ventana Village Shopping Center, 6884 E. Sunrise Drive, near Kolb Road.
