I'm not sure there are any true "dollar stores" any more in the sense that "Everything is one dollar." However the stores evolved from the original gimmick are still called dollar stores even if the strict definition no longer applies.

I'm not sure of the name but there is a true dollar store. I think it is called, "The Dollar Tree" and everything in them is a dollar. You find them throughout malls in the midwest.

Dollar Tree the place the author visits in the article is a actual everything is a buck store.

The "99 cent only" stores are still true to their word (nothing is over a dollar), but they recently had to raise their prices to 99.99 cents, heh.

I remember when you'd still hear people refer to dime stores, though I'm pretty sure the term was obsolete well before my time.

There's a "five and ten" store in Palo Alto, but it's $5 and $10.
