I compared Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Family Dollar and found one messy, one pricey, and one that was just right for stocking up on snacks
It's a question worth asking given howDollar General is on the verge of opening its 20,000th store after cutting ribbons on 1,000 new locations just last year. Dollar Tree has about 16,000 stores, some of which it runs under the Family Dollar name.
To find out what the major differences are between the three main dollar store chains, I visited some of their stores in Southern Maryland, about an hour's drive from Washington DC. Do you work or shop at Dollar General, Dollar Tree, or Family Dollar and have a story idea to share? Contact Alex Bitter by email at abitter@insider.com or via text/encrypted messaging app Signal at 854-4501.There was a wide variety of stuff inside, and it was almost all neat and tidy.One thing I noticed right away: Dollar Tree sticks closely to its $1.25 price point for most items. Other dollar stores carry higher-priced items, as I'd soon learn.
Signage above the food section called attention to Dollar Tree's selection of snacks, which I found to be the most impressive part of the store.Some were things I had never seen before, such as these fruit snacks flavored like an Arnold Palmer.There were also lots of well-established brands, such as this orange soda from Faygo, which traces its roots over a century ago to Michigan.In general, the shelves seemed well-stocked.
