​SANTA MARIA, Calif. – People in Santa Maria braved cooler temperatures Saturday morning as they lined up for the grand opening of Japanese discount store Daiso.

The family-owned retail chain calls itself a "one-stop-shop" for all household needs on its website, adding that it sells stationary, home decor, food, and other items at affordable prices.

Although there are dozens of Daisos in southern and northern California, this is the first one opening up on the Central Coast.

Several customers at the store Saturday morning said they had been anticipating the grand opening, including Los Osos resident Fue-Lyn.

“It was really exciting to see that they were opening one up," she said. "My sister and I were driving down this road. She screamed and said, 'There's a Daiso opening!' [...] So we made plans to make sure we came."
