I think I've been to too many warehouse sized dollar stores in the Los Angeles Area. Going to this one in Chicago made me a bit more appreciative of the 99 cent stores available here in LA. There is such a wide selection of items available for sale, including name brands, household items, dishes, a frozen food section and Esles that rival actual stores. I found this store to be too small and wanting for a wider selection. I'm not sure if it's just the Chicago economy or the demand for goods that are only a dollar, but I wouldn't recommend this dollar store.
