Kinokuniya's Expansion in Texas

On September 18, 2026, Kinokuniya Bookstore, led by President Yoshio Fujinori, inaugurated its fifth location in Texas, the Fort Worth store. This new addition marks a significant milestone in the company's growth since its first venture into Texas back in 2017 with the Carrollton store.

The Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area, ranked as the fourth largest in the United States, boasts a population of approximately 8.5 million residents. Kinokuniya has already established a presence in this area with its Carrollton and Plano locations, both of which have received positive responses from customers. The newly opened Fort Worth store is strategically located in a shopping mall that specializes in Asian food and products, further enriching the cultural landscape. This mall features over 40 tenants showcasing food and cultural offerings from various Asian countries, providing a unique experience for Texas customers who are eager to explore a diversity of Asian cultures.

Upon entering the Fort Worth store, visitors are welcomed by a spacious interior designed to reflect the vastness of Texas. The store offers a wide array of products including books, manga, stationery, and gift items. Kinokuniya places a particular emphasis on enhancing its selection of popular manga and anime-related merchandise. Additionally, the store boasts high-quality, stylish stationery, and exclusive Kinokuniya Texas regional goods that customers have come to cherish.

With the opening of the Fort Worth store, Kinokuniya's total locations in the U.S. have reached 23. The company aims to continue its expansion within the United States, striving to become a prominent hub for Japanese culture and connect with even more customers across various regions.
