Don't laugh-- have you ever been to a Dollar Tree in the suburbs? They don't feel dumpy or sketchy at all, and a lot of the items there are of good quality. I miss having a place to grab inexpensive birthday balloons, hair ties, paper towels. <br /><br />Nevertheless, I'm glad the owners have the business sense to change their operation. I just hope they know or learn enough about the organic grocery business to make it work. If it's all overpriced packaged snacks I don't think they'll do well. carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13377109666045563373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-83612703289716074192013-02-12T09:50:29.694-05:002013-02-12T09:50:29.694-05:00For the record, I like the bloody hands on Z Mart,...For the record, I like the bloody hands on Z Mart, although I don't know when or precisely why they were put there.
