A Buck or Two

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Buck or Two is a price-point retailer (dollar store), 100% Canadian owned and operated. Its full name is Buck or Two Extreme Retail, Inc.

It is headquartered out of Concord, Ontario. The official site offers conflicting information as to its founding date, offering both 1987 and 1990.

There are 324 stores as of the company's last official count, most of which were franchises. Locations operate in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec (as Dollar ou Deux), and Saskatchewan.

In these stores, the merchandise is priced at $2.00 or less, and consists of both new merchandise (usually imported, though sometimes of Canadian origin) and closeouts. Cheaper items are often priced in multiples (two for $1, three for $1, etc.). Recently, however, and controversially, certain merchandise at some Buck or Two locations is priced even higher than $2.00.
