Japanese lifestyle store 3Coins opens first Hong Kong store in Causeway Bay
In general, most Hongkongers love two things: cheap steals and Japanese stuff. Beloved Japanese lifestyle store 3Coins has fulfilled both these categories by opening its first Hong Kong flagship store in the heart of our shopping district, Causeway Bay. 3Coins is well known for selling the majority of their lifestyle and household goods at just JPY330, which is under HKD $18, with products that are more well-made and stylish than dollar stores like Daiso. They offer over 2,500 Japan-designed products ranging from kitchenware and home organising goods, to beauty accessories and pet items. The Yaichi group-operated store here in Hong Kong will also stock seven items exclusive to our city, such as reusable and tote bags (from $18), umbrella bags ($30), a hand-carry travel bag ($90) that can hold up to eight kg of belongings, and more. 3Coins' products in the Hong Kong store will be priced the same as their home locations in Japan, with taxes included, so no more being annoyed that things are cheaper in Japan! It's worth noting, though, that 3Coins' prices will fluctuate with the exchange rate between the Japanese yen and the Hong Kong dollar. Some cute and handy items to look out for include a 3D jelly mould ($30) to make cute wobbly animals, a hairbrush ($30) with a removable layer under the bristles that makes hair much easier to remove, and an ice bag ($72) that can be worn around the neck during hot summers. Pet owners will be glad to know 3Coins also stocks plenty of adorable items for furry friends, including costumes like takoyaki balls or even yukata for animals. As a launch promotion, customers who spend $300 between now and August 3 will also receive a Hong Kong-exclusive 3Coins reusable shopping bag, limited to 200 pieces each day. Check out 3Coins for yourself at B2/F, Hysan Place, Causeway Bay.

Daiso set to open new locations in 8 states
Dollar Tree rival Daiso is set to open new locations in eight states, including its first two Arkansas stores. The Japanese retailer is in the process of opening 15 locations, bringing this year's US store launch count to 44. The next grand opening will take place on July 19 in La Quinta, California. The other states debuting new stores over the next few months are Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Oregon, Texas and Utah. Daiso has been coming for its rivals like Dollar Tree since expanding to the US in 2005. It may have a way to go after Dollar Tree's acquisition of bankrupt 99 Cent Only stores helped it surpass 9,000 North American stores. Fellow competitor Five Below is also planning to open 150 US locations this year. Daiso has been successful with its overseas expansion since debuting its first store outside Japan in Taiwan in 2001. Today, over 1,000 Daiso locations are operating in 25 countries and regions outside of Japan. If all goes as plan for the chain, there could be 1,000 Daiso stores throughout the US by 2030. Most of the existing locations are in California, which is also the state with the highest number of new Daiso stores this year. Dollar Tree has over 800 locations in California, the most out of any US state. While many retailers have managed to survive inflation and fears of a looming recession, others have struggled. Daiso competitor Family Dollar has been in trouble for quite some time, even before its 2015 merger with Dollar Tree. After failing to make the merger work, Dollar Tree agreed to sell the chain for around $1 billion, which was finalized on July 7. The acquisition was finalized just a year after Family Dollar shuttered hundreds of stores. Outside of discount variety stores, pharmaceutical chains have also been in hot water financially. Rite Aid has shuttered hundreds of stores and sold off assets since filing for bankruptcy in May for the second time in two years. CVS is also planning to close up to 270 stores. With the additional impact of tariffs, the nation is bracing itself to lose 15,000 stores by the end of the year. has reached out to Daiso for comment about its new US stores.
