#2 They have been raising prices for some time now. They will have no qualms in raising prices and blame Trump. Dollar General plans to open 900 plus stores this year. Currently they are Walmart's number one competitor.

#3 At Dollar Tree, everything's a buck. Are they going to change their name and business model? Or are they going to get cheap shit from somewhere else other than China?

#4 Pro tip - I see Benzes and Lexus in the parking lot, so people who know you don't get / stay rich by spending too much shop there. There are some items I won't go anywhere else to get. And, yeah, they have a lot of stores. But I don't think they are Krispy Kreme overbuilt.
