 Dollar stores made the mistake of anchoring their brand to a melting ice cube, now they can't offer any products for a dollar 
 Time to make the sat store 
 Ten Dollar Stores just doesn’t have the same ring to it. 
 I always thought the name was a poor choice. Same with the 99¢ Store. Now we're seeing why. 
 5 and dime stores are not in people’s memories anymore. Dollar stores will suffer the same fate. “Five Below” is next. 
 they gonna gaslight everyone and be like ' its always been The Dollars Tore, silly people' 
 Quality never was in the dollar store brand name.   
 Yep, saw it coming a long time ago... 
 Too early for Sat stores ? 
 Maybe a little too early, but the right time will be here soon enough.

True story: A couple years ago I thought of one day opening up a "dollar store" type of business, and calling it "The Sat Shack".

My wife hates that name, though. 😆 
 😆😆😆 
 Sats stores is probably a bad marketing strategy because Bitcoin causes natural prices deflation. A sat store isn't a good name for a store that sells items for less than a sat 
 And the products get better and higher quality for the same price each year  
 The UK's "Poundland" started selling products for more than a pound in 2016. Initially it was just a few products. Now it's the majority.  
 Five below!
