I was going to guess “Five Guys”.
I have 7 grandchildren under age 10. it’s a great place for stocking stuffers and Easter basket fillers. Two of the boys are big fans of the Superheroes and I can find all sorts of Batman, Spiderman and Superman books, puzzles etc.
Words of wisdom.
LOL!!
Here in Kentucky we have a lot of Dollar General Stores and more under construction. I am always happy to see them open a new location because when you go to a Dollar General you see the size of the store when you pull into the parking lot they are pretty small. Then when you go inside you are always surprised at the huge selection of items available. They are building in areas considered too small to support a Wal-Mart slowly but surely taking sales from Wal-Mart. Here is the best part of all this what can Wal-Mart do to combat this. The answer is nothing. Wal-Mart recently announced a small store concept to try to fight off this kind of competition. I predict it will be a huge flop and I hope it is. Imagine going in a mini Wal-Mart the first impression will always be that they have nothing to offer because everyone has seen the items available in a super Wal-Mart making a mini Wal-Mart a huge waste of time. Dollar General Corp may be the most well run retailer in America.
Twice in a row that I've replied to you, I promise, I'm not stalking.
I'm looking for a place that sells unsliced pumpernickel, I love the stuff. When I've happened across it before it's been stale, I don't have to have same day fresh but I'd like to at least have same month fresh.
May be so where you are but not here. The family Dollar here has brand name stuff and the same items at W-M are generally just a bit cheaper.
What Family Dollar has going for it for me is that it's closer than W-M. Also I've noticed that they have some items that appear cheaper until you compare the volume. Somewhat smaller packaging.
I will second that anecdotal observation. Many times I come home from Dollar Tree and realize the label says...Made in the USA...
OWS would "occupy" them, but the customers would slap the snot out of them on the way in, and again on the way out.
