EAST LYME, Conn. -- Call it a sign of the times -- dollar stores have become the latest victims of a struggling economy. A dollar store in East Lyme was recently forced to become a $1.25 store.
How demand inelastic are dollar(ehm, dollar-and-a-quarter) store items? Can owners push through cost increases without destroying demand?
