Inventor of the Dollar Store

The gentlemen who invented the concept of the dollar store just passed away.  His genius led to the ubiquitous dollar stores we now see, as well as the dollar spot at Target.  Interestingly enough, he died a billionaire.  It reminds me of this quote from Thomas Edison:

"Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration."

Really, is there anything that creative or spectacular about the idea of a dollar store?  And yet, no one had come up with the idea before Dave Gold.  I am certain that the reason for its success is not any sort of genius, however, but through much perspiration


Proverbs 21:5 says it this way:

"Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts leads to poverty."
