Dollar Tree selling items for more than $1
Dollar Tree is changing its business model slightly by offering select items costing over $1 in some stores. Chief executive officer (CEO), Gary Philbin, spoke about the upcoming ‘Dollar Tree Plus!’ program.
‘With its 'Everything's a Dollar' model, Dollar Tree has remained one of the most unique, differentiated and defensible brand concepts in all of value retail. However, we have always been a 'test-and-learn' organisation that is committed to evaluating all opportunities to deliver great value for our customers while driving long-term value creation,’ said Philbin.
The retailer gets 40% of its goods from China, so the price hikes will probably help offset the increased costs from US-imposed tariffs on Chinese products.
