  • DOLLAR TREE INC Profile

    Dollars may not grow on trees, but outlets of Dollar Tree's stores seem to. The company operates more than 3,400 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.
