Dollar Store Franchises

Dollar stores are value-oriented, low-price stores that sell inexpensive household items, as well as groceries and general merchandise that appeals to both low-income shoppers and budget-minded consumers. There are basically two kinds of dollar stores: those that offer all items for $1 or less, and those that sell inexpensive items. Both operate by finding the best bargains on bulk items or by purchasing other stores' overstock.

A dollar store franchise can be a great investment for a savvy entrepreneur because even during the last financial crisis, low-end retailers did well. Why? Because when people have less to spend they seek out the kind of bargains that dollar stores are known for. Even during stronger financial times, the market for dollar stores has proven successful. In fact, many people now openly take pride in the creative ways they can save money, including shopping regularly at dollar stores.
