No, Daiso currently doesn’t have stores in the UK. The Japanese discount retailer has expanded into a lot of countries around the world, but the United Kingdom isn’t yet one of them.
Daiso has thousands of stores in Japan and has also moved into markets such as US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the UAE.
What is Daiso?
Daiso is a Japanese chain of variety stores that is known for selling a large range of inexpensive everyday products.
It sells things like craft supplies, kitchenware, toys, and stationery. It is becoming increasingly popular in many countries as it allows you to browse lots of inexpensive products at quite low prices.
It’s fairly similar to Danish retailer Flying Tiger Copenhagen, although with a larger product range and more of a Japanese twist.
Why is Daiso So Cheap?
The company focuses on efficient product sourcing and operations. Many products are developed specifically for Daiso, which gives it more control over pricing.
Can You Buy Daiso Products in the UK?
Unfortunately, no; there are currently no Daiso shops in the UK, nor is there an online store.
You may be able to find some Daiso products sold through online marketplaces, but these are unlikely to be the same price.
What is Similar to Daiso in the UK?
Flying Tiger (also known as Flying Tiger Copenhagen) is a good option for small toys, craft supplies, and party and novelty items, whilst Chinese retailer MINISO also sells homeware and other accessories in the UK.
MUJI is another Japanese retailer that is currently available in the UK and sells stationery, storage, and household products. It has an emphasis on simplicity and operates at a higher price point than brands like Daiso.
Other than these, you can find inexpensive household essentials at UK discount stores and pound shops.
Will Daiso Come to the UK?
Although Daiso is continuing to expand into new markets, it has not yet announced an intention to launch in the UK. However, it’s always possible that this could change in the future.
