In the 1980's, when Bob Glick seized an opportunity to buy a number of clothing items at low cost, he was unaware that this investment would open the doors to his future in the retail industry. Predicting that the clothing sale would last for three weeks, he rented out an old factory and sold each item of clothing at a price of ten dollars or less. From this, the concept of Dots was born and decades later it is still dedicated to delivering affordable fashion to its patrons. Having grown from humble beginnings, Dots now operates more than 400 stores in two dozen states, primarily on the East coast and in the Midwest.
