Dollar Tree Is Raising Prices And People Cant Handle The Change
The Dollar Tree chain is making a big change that could mean less change for customers.
That’s because Dollar Tree will start selling items that cost more than a buck, according to The Associated Press.
AdvertisementThe rising prices are, in part, because of inflation, but CEO Michael Witynski claims the addition of items that cost more than, well, a dollar, is about giving customers more choice.
“For decades, our customers have enjoyed the ‘thrill-of-the-hunt’ for value at one dollar ― and we remain committed to that core proposition ― but many are telling us that they also want a broader product assortment when they come to shop,†Witynski said in a prepared statement.
The chain has already added a “Dollar Tree Plus†section at some stores, featuring items selling for as much as $5. And now, products that sell for $1.25 to $1.50 will be found among the $1 products.
The AP speculates that raising some prices will allow Dollar Tree both flexibility and more variety on its shelves.
