Dollar City Store Network Growth Update
The Corporation continues to assess the progress of its partnership with Dollar City in Latin America. Dollar City is an independently-owned and operated value retailer with operations in El Salvador, Guatemala and Colombia founded in 2009. Under an arm's length agreement signed in 2013, Dollarama provides consulting and sourcing services to Dollar City at cost, with a nominal markup in some cases, allowing Dollar City to benefit from Dollarama's business expertise and purchasing scale. Dollarama will have the option to acquire a 50.1% interest in the business starting in 2020. At its latest quarter ended September 30, 2018, Dollar City owned and operated 150 stores with 61 locations in Colombia, 42 in El Salvador and 47 in Guatemala. This is up from a total of 107 stores as of December 31, 2017.
