The Dollar Giant that opened at Pender St. near Main in Chinatown last year boasted, "HONEST! NOTHING OVER A... $1"
No more.
They've added ".25" to all the dollar signs in the windows. Everything in the store is now $1.25, other than food items which will continue to be $1.
I asked a security guard when the prices had gone up. "About a month ago," he said.
A clerk told me that the prices have not gone up at all Dollar Giants. "Not at the one on Kingsway & Clark or the one on Commercial Dr." The clerk speculated that the price increase at the Chinatown location was due to the number of shoplifters.

The prices are still good though. I dropped in a few days ago and got file folders, a package of five, for $1.25.
I hope they stay in business.
