A long line formed early on a balmy summer morning in Duluth, as people traveled from around metro Atlanta for the opening of Japanese department store Teso Life on Pleasant Hill Road. Such lines are not an unusual occurrence these days for the opening of a Teso Life, often fueled by social media.
Frequently touted as the Japanese version of Target, Teso Life first became a sensation when it debuted six years ago in Queens. The uber popular department store currently includes nearly a dozen locations in New York, with new locations opening in Arizona, Maryland, New Jersey, Texas, and now in Georgia.
