History of
the Company
James Wichert, owner and president of Dollar Store Services started
in the industry in 1992 when he opened the first dollar store in
Nevada. Shortly thereafter, he began to receive inquiries from
customers and tourists about assisting them in opening stores
throughout the United States. This became the beginning of the
store development operations.
| The store development business
has steadily grown and Dollar Store Services was incorporated in
1995. Since he started in the dollar store business, Mr. Wichert
has assisted over 1,500 individuals open stores throughout the
United States, Canada, and worldwide. The Right Location The proper location for most retail stores is very important. In the dollar store business it is important for our clients to seek busy traffic areas and consumer walk by traffic areas. For example, in a large metropolitan area the store should be located in a shopping center preferable with an anchor that generates sufficient traffic. However in a small community, often a main street location typically works well. | ![]() |

required have been addressed, and follow through with landlords and
contractors to make sure that the store space is ready as quickly
as possible.
| Members of the Operations Staff will work with you on the sourcing and design of your exterior signage, and later will coordinate the timely arrival of your opening orders; merchandise, equipment, and supplies.Once the store space is ready, we send to the store site one of our Build-out Supervisors who will coordinate the build-out crew in the assembly and installation of fixtures, and the stocking of all merchandise. Store owners are encouraged to be available during the build-out process, as the Build-out Supervisor will be demonstrating various stocking techniques, set up of the cash registers, and freight processing. On the last day of the build-out, the store is ready to open. | ![]() |
