What Makes Us Unique?
As a DIYD store owner you will be able to choose from a menu of options that will allow you to get everything from a do-it-yourself program for those clients who prefer a more hands-on approach  up to a  professionally built out, fully functional dollar store for those who desire a turn-key operation business model.

Our industry-first IRP allows you to receive back in the form of a check, 15% of your original inventory costs to be used to purchase more merchandise, store advertising, store improvements or for whatever purpose you choose.

The Right Industry at the Ideal Time
Dollar Stores today are seeing a resurgence in this economy that has translated into profits above those of other retail venues. In a January 2009 trade magazine article, Family Dollar chairman, Howard Levine is quoted as saying “Customers of all income levels are looking for ways to stretch their budgets. It’s clear that Family Dollar, and the dollar channel overall is gaining in this environment.” In November of last year, in a USA TODAY article, the author said, “Dollar stores are soaring at a time when traditional retailers have been sucked into the market downdraft. The worse the economy, the better for retailers of deeply discounted items.” Now is the time for you to invest in this potentially lucrative industry.
