Wow what a mouth full of a thread title. I think I caught all the 'dollar store' stores folks shop at (99Cents officially went bankrupt last year right?).
Daiso might be a new name for some folks, it's a Japanese dollar store. Most are in Cali, Washington, and Texas but more are opening every year. Sway's Deals did a walkthrough last year of one
thought it would be nice to get this on the radar for people who might live near one and didn't know!

(also it's crazy they aren't a franchise. Everything is done by corporate. They expanded a lot in South Korea but it got too big and unruly to manage from Japan so they sold the entire Korean branch instead.)
Halloween becomes more popular in Japan every year so it'll be neat to see how they will expand their retail offerings.
Well anyway I wanted to start the thread because of a bit of schadenfreude. My closest Party City is becoming a Dollar Tree. Now I'll have 4 stores within a 15 minute drive. Maybe this year I'll finally get enough plastic spiders 😜
