Dollarama has 1,444 stores in Canada. Its highly profitable business model includes directly sourcing its products at low cost, generally from Asia and China in particular. All stores are company-owned and operated and are in leased premises and are always kept clean and orderly. It also owns 50.1% of the 395 store Dollarcity chain with locations in Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Peru. Dollarcity is not yet a very significant contributor to earnings – but could be in future.
