About Us
Making the American Dream Possible
People across the country, and even the world, aspire to own their own business. Mega began in 1983 to turn entrepreneurs’ business ownership dreams into reality while bettering their communities.
Mega began in 1983 with the purpose of helping regular, everyday people become successful business owners. But founder Dan Kostecky and wife Reta’s vision was about more than simply opening stores. His goal was to start a company that assists people in becoming business owners that bring value to their communities by providing popular products at affordable prices.
A nationwide increase of interest in owning a business combined with the growing demand for discount retail stores and pack and ship stores resulted in the proven Mega concept. Communities wanted retail stores that offered excellent, name-brand products, without the high dollar pricing. And that’s exactly what Mega dollar stores, party stores, and other Mega retail stores offer. At Mega, our mission is to help aspiring business owners reach success while meeting their community’s retail needs.
Whether it’s with a Mega Dollar Store or Mega Pack and Ship, we can help you achieve the American dream while helping the community around you.
In January of 2000, Paul Kostecky, the oldest son of Dan and Reta Kostecky, became president of Mega. Before assuming this leadership position, Paul served as the company’s vice president for 6 years. Paul has been with Mega since day one and has a vast knowledge of every aspect of the business, making him the ideal leader to take over the everyday operations of the company.
Just like his father, Paul is passionate about helping people across the country see their dreams of becoming a business owner come to life. Paul’s commitment to providing the best service possible to potential Mega store owners is something he requires of the rest of the Mega team as well. He is proud of the fact that his team does not consist of telemarketers or pressure “sales” people, but rather honest, knowledgeable people who want to truly earn your business and go to work for you.
