# Dollar Tree Stores

> Dollar Tree is one of North America's largest single-price and multi-price variety retailers, running roughly 9,000-plus namesake stores where most of the merchandise is sold at a fixed, low price point. For decades the whole store was a dollar; the chain broke that barrier in 2021 by moving its base price to $1.25 and has since layered in a multi-price 'Dollar Tree 3.0' format that stretches to a few dollars. After selling off Family Dollar in 2025, the company is now a focused, standalone Dollar Tree betting that a predictable low price still pulls shoppers through the door.
