This genuinely makes me a little sad. I don't go as much since they stopped being actually 99¢ only stores, but I have so many fond memories with my late grandmother, who would take me as a child to the one in her area, well before they were widespread. End of an era for me.

My grandmother did the same thing when we were kids. Everytime they visited it was like a tradition to go to Dollar Tree (we don't have these specific stores) and get to pick out one toy we would then proceed to break the same day.
