A Fresh Focus on Dollar Tree’s Growth

Strong Fourth Quarter Performance

Despite the sale, Dollar Tree reported growth. Net sales increased 0.7%, totaling $5 billion for the fourth quarter.

Same-store sales also rose 2%, driven by higher traffic and rising ticket averages. Traffic rose 0.7%, while ticket size climbed 1.3%.

Shoppers Seek More Value Than Ever

Middle-income shoppers, nearly half of Dollar Tree’s base, continue to seek affordable products. Even high-income buyers now turn to Dollar Tree.

Multi-Price Stores Prove Successful

Store formats with multi-price models outperformed others. These 3.0 stores offer more variety and drive better performance than older layouts.

The company expects to grow its 3.0 store count to 5,200 by the end of 2025, boosting both sales and customer satisfaction.

Tariff Strategy and Supply Chain Adjustments

To counter tariffs, Dollar Tree revised suppliers, dropped expensive items, and optimized costs across different markets.
