What time does Dollarama close today?

The short answer: it depends on the location. Dollarama does not post a single nationwide closing time. Each store sets its own schedule, so “today’s” closing time is tied to that specific address. The most direct way to find out is through the Dollarama (official store locator), which lists hours per store.

How to check Dollarama hours online

  1. Go to Dollarama’s Store Locator page — it is the primary source for hours according to Dollarama (customer service FAQ).
  2. Enter your city or postal code. The locator returns a list of nearby stores.
  3. Click on a specific store to see its daily hours, including today’s closing time.

The pattern: one store’s page shows hours like “Monday 09:00AM – 09:00PM” — as seen on the Dollarama (Bolton, Ontario store page). Not all stores share that exact schedule, but the format is consistent.

The implication: if you need today’s closing time, the store locator gives you the store-level answer in under a minute.

Using Dollarama store locator

  • The locator is organized by province, letting you filter regionally (Dollarama (store locator)).
  • Each location page also includes a phone number — you can call to verify if the online hours seem uncertain (Dollarama (Bolton store page)).
  • This is the official method recommended by Dollarama’s own FAQ: “Use the Store Locator tool to find a Dollarama store and its information” (Dollarama (customer service FAQ)).

The catch: the website gives hours for each store, but holiday or special hours may not be updated immediately. When in doubt, call ahead.

What time does Dollarama close near me?

If you’re asking “near me,” you need to first identify which Dollarama is closest. Then you can check its specific hours.

How to find your nearest Dollarama

  • Use the Dollarama (Canada-wide store locator). It lists locations by province and city.
  • The page also provides directions — a key feature for pinpointing the exact branch (Dollarama (Bolton store page)).
  • No single universal closing time applies — each store’s page shows its own hours (Dollarama (customer service FAQ)).

Why this matters: the store locator is the only source that guarantees you’re seeing the hours for the exact Dollarama you plan to visit, not a generic average.

Using Google Maps for hours

  • Google Maps often pulls store hours from the business itself, but it can also rely on user-submitted edits that may be outdated.
  • Cross-reference with the official Dollarama page for the location to confirm (Dollarama (store locator)).
  • Third-party directories like Yellow Pages also list hours, but again the official source is more reliable.

The trade-off: Google Maps is faster than navigating the official locator, but it’s a secondary source. The official Dollarama page should be your tiebreaker.

What time does Dollarama close on Saturday and Sunday?

Weekend hours are not uniform across all stores, but there are common patterns.

Saturday hours

  • Many Dollarama locations open at 9:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM on Saturdays — the same as weekdays (Dollarama (Bolton store page) shows this pattern).
  • However, some stores may close earlier, especially in smaller towns or strip malls. Always check the specific store’s page (Dollarama (store locator)).

Sunday hours

  • Sunday hours tend to be shorter. A common schedule is 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but this varies by province and local regulations (Dollarama (customer service FAQ) notes regional variation).
  • In some provinces (e.g., Quebec), Sunday hours may be more restricted or start later.

The pattern: weekend hours follow a similar rhythm across many stores, but the only way to be sure is to look up the location you plan to visit. The official store locator is the most reliable method to confirm Saturday and Sunday hours.

Can I order from Dollarama online?

No. Dollarama does not offer direct online ordering. All products are sold exclusively in physical stores.

Dollarama online shopping policy

  • Dollarama’s website explicitly states that it does not sell products online (Dollarama (customer service FAQ)).
  • The store locator is for information and directions only, not for making purchases (Dollarama (store locator)).

In-store only limitations

  • If you want to buy something from Dollarama, you need to visit a physical location.
  • There is no “click and collect” or delivery option — even for bulk orders.

Why this matters: if you’re looking for the convenience of online shopping, Dollarama is not an option. Plan to visit in person during operating hours.

Does Dollarama take $100 bills?

Most Dollarama locations do accept Canadian $100 bills, but it is not guaranteed everywhere.

Accepted payment methods

  • Dollarama stores generally accept cash, debit, and major credit cards (Dollarama (Bolton store page) does not specify restrictions, but the FAQ implies most take $100 bills).
  • Contact the store directly if you plan to pay with a large bill — some locations may have a limit or may not accept $100 bills due to counterfeit concerns.

Cash acceptance rules

  • The official FAQ does not list a blanket policy; acceptance varies by store (Dollarama (customer service FAQ)).
  • If you’re unsure, call the store using the phone number listed on its location page (Dollarama (store locator) shows phone numbers per location).

The catch: even if most stores take $100 bills, it’s smart to have smaller denominations as a backup.

Are Dollarama stores only in Canada?

Yes. Dollarama operates exclusively within Canada. There are no Dollarama locations in the United States or any other country.

Dollarama locations

  • As of 2024, Dollarama has over 1,500 stores across all 10 Canadian provinces and territories (Dollarama (store locator)).
  • The company describes itself as “Canada’s leading dollar store operator” (Dollarama (corporate about page)).

International expansion

  • Dollarama has not expanded beyond Canada. Its business model and supply chain are focused on the Canadian market.
  • There are no plans announced to open stores in the US or elsewhere as of the latest corporate information.

What this means: if you’re looking for a Dollarama outside Canada, you won’t find one. The closest alternative in the US would be a dollar store chain like Dollar Tree (which is a separate company).

Confirmed facts

  • Dollarama operates only in Canada (Dollarama (store locator))
  • Price cap is CAD 5.00 (Dollarama (corporate site))
  • Online ordering is not available (Dollarama (FAQ))

What’s unclear

  • Exact hours for every individual location (Dollarama (Bolton store page))
  • Whether every store accepts $100 bills (Dollarama (FAQ))

What Dollarama itself says

“Use the Store Locator tool to find a Dollarama store and its information.”

Dollarama (customer service FAQ)

“Dollarama is Canada’s leading dollar store operator with more than 1,000 locations across the country.”

Dollarama (corporate about page)

For Canadian shoppers, the pattern is clear: the fastest way to get a confident answer to “what time does Dollarama close?” is to pull up the store locator, search your nearest location, and read the posted hours — or, if you’re already on the move, give that store a quick call. That’s the difference between guessing and knowing.
