Franchise History
In the Spring of 1998, David Uzelman (Co-Founder / Retired President) and Russ Meszaros (Co-Founder / CEO) had an idea to raise the bar in the dollar store industry by opening a dollar store that was less cluttered, well merchandised, brighter, cleaner and more inviting for customers to shop. This idea was further enhanced by the grass roots experience that Dave brought from the family retail business that he was born into and by the practical knowledge and experience Russ had gleaned from a major Western Canadian grocer. Within a few short months, David and Russ opened their first store in Merritt, BC. Within weeks they opened their second corporate store in Kelowna, BC. These stores were such a success that they immediately started franchising this concept. Three years later, Your Dollar Store with More had over 100 stores. Today that number has expanded to over 170 stores. Your Dollar Store with More projects to open 10-15 new stores across Canada, in each of the next five years. Your Dollar Store with More is one of the few Dollar Store franchises that owns and operates corporate stores. This allows them to identify with the daily operating procedures faced by franchisees. They also experience the process of dealing with suppliers and selecting the right merchandising mix. This information generated by the corporate stores is then used to assist franchisees and keep them top of the dollar store industry trends.
