I don't see any record of the first nickel store, and it sounds like Woolworth's wasn't quite the first. But if we use 1879 as our baseline: https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1879 That's a 3,139.76% price change due to inflation to 2025. So a nickel store in 1879 would be a $1.57 store in 2025. I don't know if Dollar General was the first "dollar store" in the US, but it sounds like it was early: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_General
A dollar store from 1955 would be a $12.09 store in 2025. |
