BURLINGTON, ON
There’s some good news for discount shoppers in Burlington, which, these days, is everyone.
There’s a new Dollarama opening in the city.
New Appleby Line location is not yet ready for customers.
The Gazette has learned the popular Canadian dollar store retail chain will open its seventh location in the city on Appleby Line, just north of Dundas Street.
Dollarama spokesperson Lyla Radmanovich confirmed there will be a new store opening at 3091 Appleby Line in the coming months, but didn’t have a specific opening date as of yet.
“With this new location, customers can expect a product offering and shopping experience consistent with the other Dollarama stores in the neighborhood, and across Canada,” Radmanovich said. “We look forward to reaching new customers and to providing even more convenience to our existing customers in Burlington.”
Outside the location, vehicles are coming and going, and there’s Dollarama signage stretched across the glass, while the area above the storefront has been painted green.
Logan Barker, general manager of the recently-opened RUDY Resto, which is just a short walk away from the new Dollarama location, said the new discount store will be great for the neighbourhood.
Business is already booming at RUDY, Barker said.
Known for their simple and classic burgers with locations in Toronto and other parts of the GTA, RUDY will reap big benefits from the new Dollarama, Barker said.
“We’re extremely excited to see them (Dollarama) open up near us,” Barker told the Gazette. “Let’s be honest; there’s going to be a lot of people who are hungry after going shopping.”
Typical Dollarama store set up.
Just a few weeks ago, Dollarama reported its financial results for the first quarter that ended May 4, 2025.
Among many financial highlights, Dollarama reported sales increased by 8.2 per cent to $1.5 billion, compared to $1.4 billion for the same period last year.
“We are off to a strong start to fiscal 2026 as we successfully pursue our Canadian growth, with comparable store sales supported by sustained consumables demand and positive seasonal offering performance,” said Neil Rossy, president and CEO of Dollarama, in a statement.

Hey Dollarama please open a store at Kerr and Speers in Oakville.
With so much success. Maybe they can return to selling quality items instead of making things as cheap as possible
The Appleby one is the rudest store in Burlington. Hopefully this one will treat customers with respect.
What about the one just below Appleby beside winners
What about the one just south of Dundas and Appleby beside Winners
Why would Dollarama open a store within 1 km of a store south of that location?!
There already is one just south of Dundas beside Winners
There already is one on Appleby line beside Winners
