Everything shop at 100

Shop from all to 100 (yenes) in Japan.

A store with everything at 100 (also known as Don Cien) (currently converted into a store with almost everything at €1.00 [also known as almost everything €1.00]) is an establishment that sells items at low prices, initially at 100 pesetas per product. If they sell more expensive products, they are also called Everything at 100, 300, 500 or more. Later, with the introduction of the euro, many stores kept their name (especially at the beginning) but others are called Everything for one euro. This is a very popular concept all over the world. They are stores that sell all kinds of items from cleaning products to toys at a reduced price. In the United States, the name is "Dollar Store" (dollar store).

In Spain they are colloquially known as "el chino", as they are run mainly by citizens of this nationality.

It should be noted that in these stores not all items have the same price as some are of smaller quantities. In other cases, due to added taxes, the products cost more than a dollar.

Todos a 100 stores get lower prices than other establishments mainly due to three reasons:

• the product is sold in smaller quantities
• the product is generic and of low quality, often manufactured especially for such stores
• the product is purchased directly from manufacturers of its series remnants, discontinued items, excess stocks or out of season.

Some stores carry most of the new genre but others focus their offer on leftovers or out-of-season products. If they are medium or large in size, they are known as outlets.
