Likes both stocks and bonds. Similar to Dollarama in Canada but there is no relationship. One of the largest deep discount retailers in the US. Same store sales growth has been growing at about 5%-7%. Have also been growing their footprint in the stores by the same amount.

10.625% Bonds due July 15/15. One of the largest heavy discount US retailers. No sales over $10. Because of the recession, same-store sales have been fantastic and growing about 8%-10%.

In spite of the big drop, it is just coming back to normal valuations. They had thought they were going to grow same-store sales by offering more food, and that just hasn’t happened. Also, their space in the lower income consumer, really hasn’t seen some of the growth and improvement in the US economy that some of the other areas have. Still trading at very high multiples.
