Japanese Grocery Giant Mitsuwa Sets Opening Date In Plano

Plano residents have been driving by Japanese grocer Mitsuwa Marketplace's empty building for a while. Well, it's  ready to commit to its Texas debut. 

Mitsuwa is preparing for an April 14 opening, according to its website. The store is just west of North Central Expressway on the south side of Legacy Drive. 

Mitsuwa, a longtime California food retailer, picked Collin County with its growing Asian population for its entry. While Toyota's U.S. headquarters is about to open, Collin County already had a large Asian population. In 2015, about 13 percent of Collin County's population was Asian, according to the U.S. census. That's more than twice the national level of 5.4 percent.
