Saving money in Colorado got a little easier with the opening of Daiso store in Fort Collins. Where once there were expensive wedding gowns, now you’ll find cheap goods for the home.
Daiso Opens Store in Fort Collins, Colorado
Many probably hadn’t even heard of Daiso until it was announced that they’d be coming to The Pavilion Shopping Center in midtown Fort Collins at College Avenue and Troutman Parkway. In late March the store opened and I went to check it out.
The first Daiso store opened in Japan in 1991; in 2005, the first store opened in the United States in Seattle.
It’s fitting that this Daiso is located where it is, as there’s also a Five Below store in The Pavilion; Five Below sells much of their items for kids at $1-$5; and Daiso’s items are priced very low as well.
I’m not sure what I was expecting as I entered Fort Collins’ Daiso, only that I knew I wouldn’t find any wedding dresses; David’s Bridal was at this location for many years until the company filed for bankruptcy in 2023.
There are still two David’s Bridal stores in Colorado, in Aurora and Westminster…
