Ebisu Life Store, a wildly popular Japanese lifestyle shop filled with viral snacks, blind boxes and obscure collectibles, will soon open its largest ever location in Tampa Bay.

According to the Tampa Bay Business Journal, Ebisu signed a lease to open a new location at 6234 Commerce Palms Dr., in Tampa Palms. The space is a former Joann Fabrics at the Market Square shopping center.

The new 21,597-square-foot Ebisu location dwarfs the 14,756-square-foot Orlando store, which opened its doors last February and, at the time, was the Japanese-based company’s largest footprint to date.

Founded in Osaka, Japan in 2013, Ebisu is not affiliated with the popular Seminole Heights restaurant Ebisu Sushi Shack. But it is a real life version of a “blind box” doom scroll session.

Guests can expect aisles and aisles of imported Japanese snacks, cult-favorite candies and drinks, plushies, kawaii collectibles, arcade style claw machines, rows of Gashopon machines, and more.

Ebisu currently has over 20 stores across the U.S., and 15 stores listed as coming soon.

No exact opening date was announced for the new Tampa outpost.
