Description

In this episode, we compare two major dollar stores, Dollar Tree and Dollarama. We break them down to see which one stands out as the better business and long-term investment. We break down Dollar Tree’s recent decision to sell off its struggling Family Dollar segment, analyze key financial metrics like margins, free cash flow, and valuation, and contrast that with Dollarama’s performance and business model. From store growth to customer trends, we dig into what sets these two retailers apart and which one looks more compelling going forward.
