About Dollarama
Dollarama is a dollar store chain founded in Montreal in 1992 and still based in the city. Its stores carry low-priced household items, party supplies, snacks, school and office basics, and seasonal goods for holidays throughout the year.
It is a go-to stop for birthday decorations, Halloween costumes, gift wrap at Christmas and back-to-school supplies in August. Students setting up a first apartment and parents planning a party often find what they need in one trip. It started as a Montreal family retail story and grew into a familiar name in towns across Canada.
