Why?
That would give them some kind of monopoly wouldn’t it?
Who could ever hope to compete selling low-price stuff?
Those 99 cent stores maybe
Can’t we all just agree to get along?
Icahn’s a corporate raider. Do not like this. Heck, I’m upset about any Dollar Tree merger possibly taking out DT’s “upscale” sibling store, Deals.
If they all do merge, all those stores will become one chain and then they’ll start removing store locations and jobs. Not good. If there’s one thing doing well out there in this crap economy it’s dollar stores.
The last thing we need is for anyone to create a monopoly on them and go up to a bare handful of “it’ll cost you several dollars” stores.
This line writes itself; “I’ll bet a dollar that Dollar gets it!”
Sorry, could not resist!
Will this buyout be $1?
[ They should all three just merge...................... ]
Agree, it will be so much easier for thwn they gtet federalized and become distribution points for week old bread shipped in from china...
Don’t complain about the waiting in the breadline or you will get sent to a work camp in alaska....
Is it just me or have others noticed that the containers in the various dollar stores are smaller than those in regular markets, whether it be a box of crackers or a tube of toothpaste or box of laundry detergent?
