Dollar Store Retail Business Opportunity Is All About Bargains For Bucks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 2, 2009 -- Everyone loves a bargain. From college students who need to count every penny to multi-millionaires like Donald Trump and Martha Stewart, getting great deals on purchases is a national passion.

Marketing Consultants of Nevada (MCN) Dollar Stores founded in 1992 by Fred Spindel, developed over 800 stores and is a Business Opportunity you won’t want to miss if you’d like to be part of the deep discount trend. MCN, which is headquartered in Las Vegas, and sees this as just the tip of the iceberg. They expect to approach 75 more by the end of 2010.

John Buchman Director of Operations of MCN, says that industry studies show this market in still in its infancy and is expected to triple in the next five years as the buying public continues to be more and more price conscious.

“Purchasing a Dollar Store gives you all the benefits of a Franchise business without the expense and restrictions,” says Buchman. “You own your store outright and even choose your own name.” As a business opportunity, MCN owners pay no franchise fees and there are no royalties. Yet everything to ready your store for opening, from the store fixtures to the high-quality merchandise, is provided as part of your purchase price.

“We have a prototype store in Las Vegas super store, where we bring potential buyers for a discovery day,” says Buchman “The whole concept is so simple that intensive training is not necessary. A trainer will show a new buyer how to receive and display merchandise. We don’t need barcodes or price stickers; we keep track of the inventory the old fashioned way. The main skill needed in a Dollar Store owner is customer service.”

One thing that sets MCN apart from other deep discount concepts is the upscale feel of the stores. “Our stores are large and bright with quality Custom fixtures,” says Buchman. “We consider ourselves the Cadillac of dollar stores.”

The merchandise is also of high quality. Buchman, hand selects the items from 40-60 top suppliers. While Dollar Store owners are free to purchase commodities from any vendor, the combination of MCN ’s volume discounts and the superior quality of the items they buy means there is always fresh stock available for owners to fill their stores.

There are several reasons, says Buchman, for the appeal of a Dollar Store. “First, there’s the abundance of high quality merchandise, all priced at a dollar. Then there’s the convenience factor. It’s just easier to shop at a dollar store than to get in and out of a big box discount store. It’s a true bargain hunter’s haven.”

Who shops at Dollar Stores? Buchman says there are 60 different categories of items, meaning there is something for everyone. Teachers will find party supplies for school events and senior citizens can get discounted prices on house wares. Teens can find hair accessories, cosmetics and jewelry. Do you need baby and bridal shower gifts? You’ll find the best items at the lowest price (a dollar!) at a Dollar Store.
