Our story
From our garage to your home.
Dollar Stretcher began with Alicia, Koldo, and their three daughters selling from their garage. Today, our family welcomes yours to our Grayslake store, where you’ll find brand-new furniture and everyday finds at prices that help your budget go further.

How we work
Brand new, boxed items.
We buy closeouts and overstock so families can get new furniture without the retail markup. Everything leaves the store in its original box.
Small quantities, changing weekly.
We list what we actually have. When something sells out it may not come back, so the catalog changes with each truckload.
Pickup keeps prices low.
No shipping warehouse, no delivery fleet. You pay online or in store and collect from Grayslake — we help you load.
Straight answers about sizes.
We publish the measurements we have and say plainly when we don’t. Ask us before you drive and we’ll measure the box.
Come see what came in.
