In response to covid-19, Sukoshi Mart has decided to branch out and make their unique and charming products available to Asian culture connoisseurs across North America.

Sukoshi Mart, the favourite Toronto destination for East Asian lifestyle products, announced today the launch of their new online store. In light of the covid-19 pandemic, the Sukoshi Mart team plans to deliver some much-needed happiness to everyone stuck inside, orworking in essential services to flatten the curve. Now that going out can mean taking a big risk, the ability to shop from the comfort and safety of home is more important than ever. By offering a seamless shopping experience, Sukoshi Mart encourages those who share their passion for limited and seasonal Japanese snacks, k-beauty products, cute stationery and more to treat themselves whenever possible. 

“With the current situation as it is, it’s been difficult not to open our store and help spread joy within a community that could really use it right now,” said Linda Dang. “Not only do we feel the need to do something for our loyal customers, but we also wanted to provide away for our employees to keep their jobs. Now we can keep them busy with sourcing new products for the site, streamlining our platform and coordinating shipping and logistics. This is how we can keep doing our part during this critical time.” 

The online store will go live with 1500 products, hand-picked to provide shoppers with a focused selection of new and exciting items to explore. Sukoshi Mart understands foreign goods can be challenging, and bridges the cultural gap by explaining key features and ensuring nothing gets lost in translation. While you may recognize popular brands like Pocky in their catalogue, the shop also aims to introduce lessor known brands to the American market. With 50 to 100 new products added each week, there will be no shortage of items to fill your cart with.  

Sukoshi Mart is set to roll out their webshop in the first week of May with a soft launch for existing members, and an official launch on May 8th. Sukoshi Rewards will be revamped to offer more competitive benefits, and updated monthly to keep giving back to loyal customers. Curated self-care bundles will be available to help introduce newcomers to great items from each category and make gift giving a breeze. Sukoshi Mart reminds customers that at a time like this, sending gifts can be a great way to brighten your loved one’s day and remind them they’re not alone. Whether for yourself or someone you love, help Sukoshi Mart bring smiles to more faces by checking back weekly and making the most of this great new shopping experience. 

If there’s a product you’d like to see, or if you have any questions please reach out to the Sukoshi Mart team at hello@sukoshimart.com.
