Do you know what a sub-dollar market and a Dollar Tree store have in common? they both offer products at a low price point.
Here's a cute conversation between a kid and a grandpa that highlights this similarity:
Kid: Grandpa, what's a sub-dollar market?
Grandpa: It's a market where you can buy things for less than a dollar, kiddo.
Kid: Oh, like the Dollar Tree store!
Grandpa: Exactly! The Dollar Tree store is a perfect example of a sub-dollar market.
Kid: Why do they call it the Dollar Tree then?
Grandpa: Well, it used to be that everything in the store cost a dollar or less.
Grandpa: Yes, it's very similar. At the Dollar Tree, everything costs a dollar or less.
Kid: So, why don't they just call it the Sub-Dollar Tree store?
Grandpa: (laughs) That's a good point, kiddo! Maybe they should! But now, some things cost more than a dollar.
Kid: That's not fair! They should change the name to the "Dollar and Up Tree".
Grandpa: (laughs) I think they might lose some customers if they did that. But you're right, it's not exactly a dollar store anymore.
Kid: Maybe they should change the name to the "Almost-a-Dollar Tree".
Grandpa: (laughs) That's a good one, kiddo! I'll have to suggest that to the World Bank.
Kid: (smiling) Ok..I think I'll stick with the sub-dollar market and Dollar Tree store for now, Grandpa. My piggy bank will thank me!
Grandpa: (laughs) Good thinking, kiddo!
