If the location has not been determined prior to the execution of the Franchise Agreement, together we will commence a search for your store location. Collectively, we'll find a location that fits our site selection criteria while meeting your needs. We have experience working with agents and developers and will help you with lease negotiations and leasehold improvements.

Great Canadian Dollar Store was established in 1993 by founders Bud and Vivian Walker. Their vision was a network of bright, clean, friendly dollar stores - a place where you would want to take your mother or your grandchildren. Together with their family and energetic representatives across Canada, they succeeded in building a successful network of franchised stores.When Bud decided it was time to retire, he looked to his son Kevin to take his place at the helm of Great Canadian Dollar Store. Kevin was already actively involved in the business and shared the values and ethics that his parents had always used to guide the company. The succession has been seamless and Great Canadian Dollar Store still focuses on the value of family and the Prairie ethics of hard work, neighbourliness, and honesty.
