Geocache Description:

This is a multi-part semi-puzzle cache. A little number juggling is required to complete co-ordinates for subsequent stages. It's my first hide, so comments are appreciated. This is a dollar-type store themed cache. Any trading items should have been purchased for $1 each. Please keep that in mind if trading in the cache.

Cache contains a FTF certificate with 2-$5 Grapes coupons.

Initial contents:
Logbook, pencil and sharpener
Mini flashlight
10 dice
Mini screwdriver
Headband light
"Bad Boy" caribiner
Pewter unicorn
Magnetic photo sleeves

Now, here's the info you need to find it....
(Note: all required info to complete calculations can be found outside the stores on the building, door, windows, etc. You may have to look around a bit.)

Store 1:

The co-ordinates above will lead you to a dollar-style store. Following are the clues to complete the co-ordinates for the 2nd store:
Last 4 digits of Pharmacy phone number less street number of dollar store less 500 completes latitude of Store 2.
Sum of digits in Pharmacy phone number completes longitude of Store 2.

Store 2:

NOTE: The dollar style store at location 2 has closed. However, the clue below is still valid. At the coordinates is a "hallway" towards the mall offices inside. When in the entrance to this hallway, the correct unit is to your left.

The first 2 digits of store's unit number in the mall will complete either the latitude or longitude of Store 3.
Transposing those 2 digits completes the remaining co-ordinate.

Store 3:

Where A=1, B=2, etc., sum the characters (numbers and letters) in the store's Unit number and multiply the result by the number of characters you summed to complete the latitude of the Cache.
The total hours of store operation on weekends less 4.5 (new store hours FOR THE THIRD TIME!) completes the longitude co-ordinates of the Cache.

Store 1 co-ordinates: Provided in this listing.

Store 2 co-ordinates: 49° _ _.054' N 97° 1_._31' W

Store 3 co-ordinates: 49° _ _.485' N 97° _ _.685' W

Cache co-ordinates: 49° 52._ _ _' N 97° _ _.894' W

Good luck and happy hunting!
