Talk:Dollarama

message: 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)
replies: text: We could include major locations: Large shopping malls, and hubs. In my town, there's about 5 or six, that I know of. Certain malls, big malls, would definately stand out. For example, Square One Shopping Centre, Scarborough Town Centre, Erin Mills Town Centre, Oakville Town Centre, and Downtown Toronto's Eaton's Centre are some recognized malls within the province of Ontario (Square One is known nationally, like that of West Edmonton Mall, which I don't doubt has one, or two) that all carry a Dollarama outlet. I think it would be a notable piece of information to include, pertaining to the momentum which Dollarama currently has, the power of it's success (shown by it's ability to integrate very well, and do business well, within these malls.)

replies: text:  Yes and no. Mainly, it's a case that we'd have to reference individual mall websites, as there's no one central listing, since the Dollarama website's so pathetic.  --  Zanimum (talk) 18:07, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Relatively, in the introduction/summary, it says that there is more store in Ontario, the reference given to the history of Dollarama is not a good reference for that statement (it was interesting to me since I am in Quebec and there is Dollarama everywhere here, so I am wondering about the numbers).  And if there was a Locations section, if we find a good source, then we can break it down by Country/Province or stuff like this that can give a good overview, e.g.,  2000 stores, 1500 in Canada, 500 in Quebec. 750 in Ontario.  Etc. (Those numbers are only for example, not real numbers!). -- Michael Muryn (talk) 09:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

message: Dollaramma is planing on uping there prices to 2 dollars on Febuary 2009 with better QUALITY Product
: Yes and no. Mainly, the new products seem to be bigger or more complex objects. A bigger dog statue, still just as cheesy, or a pool floaty balloon, more complex than last year's floaty rings or beach balls. Otherwise, everything is business as usual so far, it seems.  --  Zanimum (talk) 18:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

message: 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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?)

replies: text: Then on top of that a dollar was much more valuable back then. It would be over twenty dollars in current 2023 purchasing value. RichardBond (talk) 22:29, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

message: 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)
