Opening a dollar store business can be much more demanding than most entrepreneurs ever imagined possible. After all, they imagined opening a small family run business. There would be a few shoppers coming and going throughout the day. But the owner and maybe one employee could handle everything with ease. Then the reality of the business strikes them. There are many more shoppers than they ever expected. The dollar store merchandise is selling well beyond expectations. Rather than being overwhelmed most owners take a step back and glance around their business in amazement. They cannot believe the rewards associated with this fun and exciting business. When you open your store there’s a special pride of ownership that suddenly hits you. It all starts when you start, but for most that feeling never goes away. Every day there is a sense of pride at what has been accomplished. And that sense of accomplishment is even better as you realize you did it yourself. There was no boss telling you what to do and how to do it – you are the boss. As you walk around your store performing the many tasks that fill each day you will visit with shoppers. Many will have become almost like friends as they look for you just to say ‘hello’ while visiting your store. There will be the retired gentleman from down the street who eagerly looks for you to share his latest funny story. You can tell the shoppers are happy and satisfied with your store, employees and the dollar store merchandise you sell. Opening a dollar store is also filled with challenges. But some of those challenges become some of the most rewarding experiences of all. For example, you will continually have employees coming and going. Most see your store as a starting point. For some it is a first job, for others a chance to reestablish themselves. For others the salary from part-time hours worked in your store supplements other income. Many will move on to other career opportunities. You’ll be proud as you remember the growth they’ve had while working at your dollar store. When opening a dollar store there are the rewards associated with being in business. There’s the potential to make profit from the sale of dollar store merchandise. There’s the potential for a very comfortable living that goes with that profit. For some there’s the opportunity to pass your business on to other in your family. For all, it’s a life experience they will remember forever. To your dollar store success! Find out how you can open your own dollar store business.
