A new store specializing in plush squishy toys and all manner of adorable Japanese-pop culture collectibles is opening at the increasingly buzzy Music City Mall in Lewisville.
Called
Kawaii Otaku Plus, it's an independently owned shop, set to open on August 9, with a big collection of "squishies," the soft pillow-like stuffed toys which have been dubbed "the product you never knew you needed."
Kawaii is from Adidoreydi "Adi" Figueroa, a former vet tech with an entrepreneurial streak, and avid fan of Japanese pop culture.
