Store Development Process
When opening stores overseas, Daiso works closely with local staff on tasks ranging from site inspection to store layout and design. While ascertaining various conditions in the area a store will be opened, such as local business customs, laws, market conditions and culture, Daiso provides complete support, from fostering local business relations and maintaining the distribution system, to educating employees.
Sight Inspection 
On site inspections and business negotiations are carried out repeatedly, then store opening methods and areas are determined.
Concept Decision 
Once the area’s special features and range of customers are determined, a concept is determined for the store. Then initial arrangements are performed and a team is brought together to open the store.
Store Design 
Fire safety laws and building regulations are checked, then the store layout is determined. The interior, fixtures, and fittings are then arranged based on these results.
System Implementation 
A system is planned and implemented which directly ties together the main office and local store for staff management, product orders, etc.
Staff Recruitment and Training 
Hourly wages are set, a recruitment policy is drawn up, and a curriculum is created for training concepts and customer service points.
Product Procurement & Shop Floor Planning 
Products that fit the local store’s concept from among 70,000 available are arranged for shipment, and adjustments are made to make store improvements.
Operation Support 
After the store officially opens, support is provided on all fronts, from merchandising to staff training.
