Cheryl has missed the Dollar stores they
have in Houston. One day while driving down Saratoga Ave. We spotted a
DollarMax store next to Walgreens at Payne. It is a store where
everything is either a $1.00 or 2/$1.00, 3/$1.00 or even 4/$1.00.
A few weeks later we also ran into another Dollar store next to Safeway at the
corner of Miller and Bollinger. Both of these stores are about double the size
of a 7/11 store.
Around Thanksgiving-2003 the Dollar Club opened in nearby Campbell next to
the D&J hobby shop on Campbell Ave. They claim to be 25,000 square feet. About
the size of a small grocery store or a Wallgreens drug store.
Here are a few of the items that we found at the various dollar stores:
