Miss Doodle Mae: "2010 proved to be a stable year for the staff and management of Jojo's Discount Dollar Store. Despite the recessive economy, loyal customers continued to spend their hard earned dollars at Jojo's. Also, the Ghetto Science Community Financial Stimulus Grant helped Jojo retain his staff and expand consumer goods and services. And he didn't give himself a pay raise, either.

"Today, Jojo's business and financial advisers are proud to report the sweet aroma of economic stability—no funky finances or stinky accounts. It looks like Jojo's Discount Dollar store came out of 2010 smelling like a rose.

"Being the kind and friendly business man he is, Jojo wants to share his success with the community with the ‘Smelling like a Rose and Pre-Martin Luther King Holiday Sale.'

Jojo noticed that financially challenged individuals enjoy the fun and convenience of computers and electronic gadgets. So he teamed up with Aunt Tee Tee, the Ghetto Science Team's A-plus certified IT guru, to sell affordable, refurbished laptops, computer towers and flat-screen monitors. And look out for those inexpensive Wii hybrids and used Xbox games. Yes, Jojo's Discount Dollar Store has gone high tech.

"And to celebrate the King holiday, Jojo's has recycled copies of Martin Luther King Jr.'s book ‘Why We Can't Wait.' In 1963, Dr. King wrote about the ‘Negro Revolution.' In 2011, Jojo wants to start a Reading and Thinking Revolution.

"So, come shop at Jojo's, and invest in developing your mind and computer skills."
