People with low income literally depend on dollar stores..
Activist investor is the weirdest thing I’ve read in a while
Dollar trees, dollar generals, family dollars’, ect. are dispersed all throughout big and small towns so they’re easily accessible. Not only do they have toiletries, basic household items, cheap snacks, cheap basic toys, office supplies, and cleaning tools ;most of the things in these stores are not luxury items. They are usually essential items to maintaining a clean and modest life.
It would be one thing if this were just some candy store or something but this is a store people rely on to keep their children fed and maintain a household.
How could anyone not want these items to be as accessible as possible???
They also have cheap fun items for children which can be very important. It’s a place where kids could get toys and activities they might not have normally been able to afford. Some family dollars even have clothes and school uniforms for cheap.
i mean i think the argument would be that a lot of the merchandise is made cheap and foreign under bad working conditions, not to mention working AT the dollar store doesn’t earn any employees under management anything anywhere near a living wage, and bumping up prices a little bit could help with those things
on the other hand, would i trust the company to not just pocket that money? absolutely the hell not
