Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.
I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.
And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.
They stopped hosting shows and went back to being a bowling alley. “Bowling is making a comeback” they said on their website. I’m still shaking my head about that.
Ooooh… Well, that’s not as bad as I imagined, but… Eh, give it 5 years and they’ll be back to having shows. That’s what they were known for.
This happened in 2004. Like I said, I’m still agog.
