Dollar Tree has joined its competitor, Dollar General, in posting higher sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, as it views the economic uncertainty surrounding retailing as a growth opportunity for value dollar stores.

On June 4, the Chesapeake, Virginia-based operator of discount stores in the United States and Canada reported net sales of $4.6 billion for the quarter ended May 3, up by 11.3 percent from the same period in fiscal 2024.
