I can't help but compare that to the family-owned dollar store around the corner from me. Same three Indonesian guys (and occasionally a woman - probably someone's wife) stocking shelves and running the register. In those situations, I assume it's a co-ownership where it's easy to motivate one-another. Anecdotally, the prices are competitive and the store is clean (although products are haphazardly arranged), so I wonder what a chain dollar store can provide that these entrepreneurs can't.
