Can you describe it? What's so great about it? Genuinely asking, no sarcasm.

I had to research who exactly this is:

It's basically a Japanese dollar store, but with unique Asian items.

My wife also loves that store. I sit outside and people watch for the hour or so she's in there.
Now if we could just get an H-Mart and a Mitsuwa (Japanese grocery store....yeah, I know that's a very long shot for OKC).

It reminds me of some of the stores my mom shopped at back in the 1970's. Not sure why, but I'm struck by that thought every time I enter a Daiso.

Thank you, got it. Will probably do really well here. Also is within walking distance of UCO campus and lots of student housing, so if it is popular with that demo, it should kill it.
I peaked into their space at 2nd and Bryant today and there is no movement yet, so I suspect they will not be open until after the first of the year.

I think the most expensive thing in there is like $15. What I specifically like about the store is the snack section and the bowls. They have great, cheap bowls that I really like for the low price of like $2. Think office supplies, but they all have adorable cartoon mascots. It's all cutesy stuff for the most part.

They just filed for their building permit last month, so we are still months away from an opening.

Was just to ask about this.
I went by the Daiso site and no work has started as of yet:
