What to Expect From Dollar Tree and Dollar General

As we discussed in Part 2 of this series, both Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Dollar General (DG) recently faced some pressure on same-store sales due to harsh weather conditions. “Now, to the timing shift of the holiday and colder-than-normal-spring weather behind us, we have seen a pick-up in sales trends at both Dollar Tree and Family Dollar in May. It’s still early in the quarter, but it’s gotten off to a positive start for both banners,” said Gary Philbin, president and CEO of Dollar Tree.
