Driving Success in CPG — How JT Logistics Enabled Daiso's Rapid U.S. Expansion

In the competitive world of consumer packaged goods, supply chain agility can make or break a brand. When global retailer Daiso needed to launch its second U.S. distribution center in DeSoto, Texas, they chose JT Logistics and Flexe as their partners — a decision that exemplifies what a truly agile 3PL relationship looks like.

In 2023, Daiso — the Japanese retail giant known for its $1.50 price-point general merchandise stores — was in the midst of a rapid U.S. store expansion. With hundreds of existing U.S. locations and aggressive growth targets, Daiso needed a second U.S. distribution center capable of supporting its expanding Southern and Central U.S. store network.

They chose DeSoto, Texas — and they chose JT Logistics to make it happen, in partnership with supply chain marketplace Flexe.

The Challenge

Daiso's U.S. business operates at enormous scale. Stocking hundreds of SKUs across hundreds of retail locations requires precise inbound coordination, rapid inventory turns, and a logistics partner that can scale operations quickly without compromising accuracy or service levels.

Standing up a second distribution center — while simultaneously running existing operations — required a partner who could:

• Rapidly mobilize warehouse operations in a new market
• Integrate with Daiso's existing supply chain technology stack
• Scale staffing and capacity in line with store expansion velocity
• Maintain the service standards Daiso's retail customers expect

The JT Logistics Solution

Working through Flexe's supply chain marketplace platform, JT Logistics brought its operational expertise, warehouse management systems, and scalable staffing capabilities to the DeSoto facility — enabling Daiso to open and operate its second U.S. distribution center on an aggressive timeline.

The partnership demonstrated what JT Logistics does best: step into complex, time-sensitive logistics challenges and deliver results that allow clients to focus on their core business — growing their brand.
