Daiso takes its three-brand storefront to a Tokyo trade show to court overseas mall developers
Daiso Industries is using a home-turf retail convention, not an overseas store opening, to pitch a single combined DAISO/Standard Products/THREEPPY storefront and its new Malaysia distribution hub directly at the developers and retailers who decide where the 100-yen-shop chain opens next abroad.
Daiso Industries, the operator of the DAISO 100-yen shop chain, said it will exhibit at RETAIL EXPO Tokyo 2026 — the 22nd Asia-Pacific Retailers Convention & Exhibition — on October 8 and 9 at the Tokyo International Forum, according to a company release. The company is treating the event, aimed at retail executives from across the region, as a venue to court overseas mall developers and retailers rather than shoppers.
