The Buck Stops Here

Well, actually, it appears that the buck is stopping at one of the many dollar stores popping up around the country.  Are they giving the discounters a run for their money?  Tyler Cowen, at Marginal Revolution, shares a few facts that may show just that.  A couple for you to consider.

"6. Families earning $70,000 and above are the fastest-growing group of customers for dollar stores. Dollar stores are beginning to lose their dowdy image.

7. Dollar stores are starting to attract name brands on the shelves.

8. Wal-Mart, feeling the competitive heat, is experimenting with “dollar store” sub-sections in some of their superstores."
