Dollar stores are experiencing a major boom in the US. Over 9,000 dollar stores have opened in the country since 2017, and their numbers are continuing to grow. The top three dollar store chains – Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar – have announced plans to open up 1,626 new locations. This is more than most other major retailers.

Many people believe that dollar store customers are low-income consumers. However, according to one money-saving expert, dollar stores appeal to all shoppers like us who want to save money and stretch our budget. A recent study showed that 28% of consumers have switched to shopping at cheaper retailers like dollar stores because of increasing prices.

As their popularity grows, dollar stores are expanding the types of goods that they offer. Some have started to sell fresh food and even medicine. They’re also partnering with big brands to attract more customers. However, experts warn against buying everything at dollar stores. Some dollar store goods aren’t the best deal that you can get, one explained.
