A section or at least a paragraph or two needs to be put in on how they can afford to shit on items for only $1 and still pay for their transportation, shelf space, rent the space the store is in, etc. How much of the material is surplus, given to the store for three, how much is "slightly defective" etc? Readers of an encyclopedia and consumers in general would want to know.
I removed the section on the locations. This list is far too incomplete...in my small town alone there are over 10 locations. Also, I sincerely doubt that if there were as few retailers as the list shows, the sale would not be worth 850 million dollars..... Tingalex 23:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Dollaramma is planing on uping there prices to 2 dollars on Febuary 2009 with better QUALITY Product
Hey its because they pay actually so little for these items to be made its not a big deal when a hundred items comes in a box so thirty thousand pieces fit on a truck.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.151.24 ( talk) 04:53, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Although they introduced new items at the higher price points, they also increased the prices of many items that they previously sold for just 1 dollar. This is not mentioned anywhere in the article, though I haven't found an outside source that confirms this. Spock35 ( talk) 13:09, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I find this statement to be misleading in the History section: "The first all-dollar store was founded in Montreal in 1910 by Salim Rassy [...]".
It suggest that it is the first "all-dollar store". The same sentence is used in the French page (which would need the same improvement IMHO).
First Rossy was not bidding on the "everything for a dollar" formula, it is Dollarama in 1992 that did that.
Second, there was other companies that bid on that concept before Dollarama. For example, there was a chain in the US named "Only $1" (1986) and now named "Dollar Tree" and also Operating in Canada under that name (since 2001) that did it before them and a couple others that are documented in another article /info/en/?search=Variety_store
I think that part would need to be re-worded to avoid confusion (just like I was when I used Wikipedia to discuss about Dollarama and was wondering after reading this, is it the first that came up with the $1 concept for their store?) -- Michael Muryn ( talk) 09:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
I think this store should be mentioned as part of its history, this store was bought out by dollarama. I recall there used to be something about it here but it is now gone? 70.65.178.27 ( talk) 20:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
