"We wanted to showcase the types of brand names, fresh produce, and seasonal products available at the 99 in a big way – and what bigger way is there than setting a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title," said Jack Sinclair, CEO of 99 Cents Only Stores. "Everyone deserves extreme value and we're thrilled to be part of this unique occasion, giving back to the community, and celebrating our customers."

The Officially Amazing™ display included the wide range of merchandise available at the 99 Cents Only Stores, such as cleaning supplies, home goods, pet food, snacks, drinks, cosmetics and more. To set the bar even higher, 99 Cents Only Stores also added 2,500 products to create their well-known slogan "Do the 99" (added products not included in the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title attempt).

To make sure the items were put to good use, all $20,000 worth of product was donated to the LA Food Bank, School on Wheels, Alleviate Skid Row, the Los Angeles Boys and Girls Club and Goodwill Southern California after the successful completion of the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title attempt.
