Dollar stores usually do well in periods of economic hardship. Try telling that to Dollar Tree which is closing 1,000 — yes, 1,000 — of its namesake and Family Dollar locations due to bad business…brought about by bad business decisions that stretch back a decade. It is doing this while its arch-rival Dollar General says it will be opening 1,000 — yes, 1,000 — stores. It’s complicated. Maybe this Robin Report analysis will help.
