SINGAPORE -- Four months after venturing into the Singaporean market, Japanese discount store operator Don Quijote Holdings already has a firm toehold in the city-state, posing a potential threat to local competitors.
Don Quijote, popularly known as "Donki" in Japan, opened its first Southeast Asian outlet on Orchard Road, Singapore's commercial hub, on Dec. 1 last year as part of its global expansion strategy.
