Last summer, popular Japanese bargain store chain Daiso announced plans to open Florida’s first location in Tampa, and now we have an opening date.

The new outpost, located at 15702 N. Dale Mabry Highway (within the Northdale Promenade shopping plaza), celebrates its grand opening Saturday, Feb. 1, according to the company’s social media.

“We will be giving away an exclusive goodie bag to the first 100 customers who make a $30 purchase at this location each day,” reads the post.

For the unfamiliar, Daiso stores carry thousands of products, including Japanese-inspired home decor, stationery, asian-style snacks and various types of quirky knick knacks.

The store claims to sell primarily “100-yen” ($0.65) products, but many items are typically closer to $1.75, and some as high as $15.25. Prices are also marked in yen to provide customers with a more immersive Japanese shopping experience.

The new Daiso location will be open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
