Famed Japanese discount store Don Quijote has opened its first store in Singapore at Orchard Central.

The double-storey 1,397 sq m discount store is operating with its name as Don Don Donki instead of Don Quijote because a Don Quijote restaurant already exists here in Dempsey Road. The 24-hour store has the same range and eclectic mix of products as its outlets in Japan.

Founded in 1978 by Takao Yasuda, the brand now has over 368 stores in Japan, Hawaii and the United States. 

The second Singapore outlet is set to open middle of June 2018 and will be located in Tanjong Pagar.

One of the levels of the flagship store is dedicated to food. You can also find the Don Don Donki bar, the first outside of Japan.

The Japanese themed bar with an array of drinks like sake, beer and whiskey operates from 4pm to 2am from Sunday to Thursday and from 4pm to 3am on Friday and Saturday. 

The cheapest product at Singapore's Don Don Donki is the Calbee Jagatico Salad which is going for S$0.50, while the most expensive is the 35-year-old Hibiki Suntory Whisky at S$80,000.
