Don Don Donki at Downtown East opened in April 2021 as Singapore's first full-fledged outlet in the east. At the time of its opening, long queues formed outside the store even before it opened at 10am and as the queue got longer, staff had to hold a sign advising customers of a waiting time of up to 45 minutes.
Don Don Donki is the offshoot of Don Quijote, offering a wide variety of Japanese products and food at affordable prices.
