Dollar stores continue to push the limits
Dollar stores are inflated just like the pros.
Both Dollar General and Dollar Tree are reported Better sales and profits on Thursday than Wall Street expected. Dollar General’s comparable-store sales were more or less flat in the quarter ended April 29 from a year earlier, better than the 1.2 percent decline analysts polled by Visible Alpha is expected.
