Dollar Tree, Inc. · Chesapeake, VA United States ·(NASDAQ (GS): DLTR)

Dollars may not grow on trees, but outlets of Dollar Tree's stores seem to. The company operates more than 3,600 Dollar Tree, Deal$, and Dollar Bills discount stores in 48 states, that sell a changing mix of housewares, toys, seasonal items, food, health and beauty aids, gifts, and books -- most priced at $1 or less. About 40% of its merchandise is imported, primarily from China. The stores are located in high-traffic strip centers anchored by mass merchandisers and supermarkets, malls, and in small towns. Dollar Tree bought the Deal$ chain in 2006 and the Greenbacks chain in 2003. Founded in 1986 as Dollar Tree Stores, the company reorganized and changed its name to Dollar Tree, Inc. in 2008. To read the full description, subscribe now.
