Among the 'Top 500 Franchises'

Entrepreneur Magazine, January 2002-2003

What's the hottest concept in retailing right now? Our Dollar Store, where everything sells for only one dollar! More than any time during the past 20 years, consumers want the most for their money. They are fed up with paying high prices for fancy names. Instead, they want the most for the least. Dollar Stores take that philosophy to the extreme! Introduced in 1992, our dollar store concept markets toys, paper goods, snacks, novelties, school supplies and just about anything you can imagine--all for one dollar. It's an irresistible blend of merchandise that prompts customers to stock up on things that they need the most.

As a Dollar Discount Store owner, you will receive a step by step program for opening and operating your own Dollar Store. Franchisee's receive: In-depth training at the company's home office, the company's comprehensive operations manual, regular on-site visits and telephone support from the home office managers, access to a toll free 800 help line, full opening support and assistance with buying and opening inventory.

Those people who have goals and are motivated for success.

Here are some factors that set us apart:

• A true turnkey package
