Dollar Tree was also hit hard by retail tariffs under President Donald Trump. In February, the discount shoe retailer Payless filed for bankruptcy for a second time, and announced it was closing all 2, stores it was operating in the US and Puerto Rico.
Payless struggled with a bloated store portfolio, when a lot of its customers were flocking to online shopping. It also had a hard time competing with digital shoe sites like Amazon, as well as Amazon-owned Zappos and 6 PM.
Dollar stores are particularly popular in distressed areas of the US , where the middle class is eroding. The company plans to renovate 1, stores and introduce new profit-friendly products like freezer food and alcohol. Still, Dollar Tree has its work cut out for it, especially when it seems like Amazon and Walmart are rolling out new budget-friendly categories every day. Once inside, customers find the same employees, lousy service, and empty shelves. Obviously, such shenanigans can only sustain the company for so long.
