Utah's first Daiso — the "Japanese dollar store" — opens this month

The big picture: Some of Salt Lake's most celebrated new business arrivals in recent years have been popular Asian chains.

• Last summer the Korean-American grocer H Mart made a splash in West Jordan.
• Before that, Xing Fu Tang boba at 9th and 9th and 85°C Bakery Cafe in South Salt Lake's Chinatown opened to long lines of customers.

State of play: Utah's Asian American communities represent one of the state's fastest-growing demographic groups.

What's inside: Daiso sells Japanese-inspired household items, from groceries and toys to stationary and beauty products.
