Dollar Palace

Closed, out of business. Probably a good idea, as a Dollar Tree opened up across the street next to Paris Baguette and Oodles.
Too bad, $ 1.50 for a mylar balloon with helium was a good deal.

Great mylar balloons for $ 1 and the helium for an additional 50 cents. I wanted to buy a dozen blue balloons but my safety-​minded mom objected for car visibility. But I learned that you can roll the strings from a balloon bouquet around a heavy object and keep them down and out of sight in the backseat.
Lots of fun knick knacks to decorate a party — check out the Dollar Palace!

This store is a family run store. The owner is very helpful and very nice. The store is organized and it’s clean. It makes for a quick in and out when you need a birthday bag, school supplies or other last minute items.
He will also order stuff for the store if his customers request it. I prefer this store over the chain dollar stores.

With businesses closing due to hard times, Dollar Palace took over the space that used to be a Korean video store, in between Cerritos Pharmacy and Cerritos Cleaners, located in the Zion Market shopping center.
Basically, it’s a smaller version of the 99 Cent store or Dollar store. You’re not going to find a lot of variety as it’s bigger counterparts but a store like this can make some money in Cerritos since the closest 99 Cent store is on South Street near the Los Cerritos Center.
They have some essential items that I often need like dishwashing liquid, air fresheners, and school supplies. I did notice a good selection of greeting cards. Also, I’m horrible at wrapping gifts so I can also use their tissue paper and gift bags (there’s a lot there) to make my job easy. In the back, there are also tools that you find in your garage, all for a dollar, as well as kitchen accessories. The items look solid and not cheap at all.
The store is open Monday thru Saturday (9AM to 9PM) and Sunday (10AM to 8PM). They do accept credit/​debit cards but with a minimum $ 5 purchase. Here’s a page from
that explains how the owner setup this business with the assistance of Dollar Store Services. There’s a video as well which explain in detail, in case you’re wondering how someone sets up a business like this from scratch. (
