United States: number of dollar stores 2017-2024

In 2024 there were almost 38,500 dollar stores in the United States. This was an increase of approximately 1,400 in comparison to the previous year, and more than 4,000 since 2021. Profitable years for dollar storesWhile many industries struggled in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and difficult financial circumstances, dollar stores in the United States experienced significant growth. Discount department stores experienced falling sales as an industry from 2007 to 2020, but saw a massive rebound since 2021 when sales reached the highest levels since 2016. Dollar stores have fared better; revenues are estimated to have steadily grown since 2016. Dollar General salesThe sales of Dollar General, one of the market leaders, reflect this pattern. In the fiscal year 2023, Dollar General's net sales amounted to approximately 38.7 billion U.S. dollars. The company’s sales have consistently grown since 2007, seeing the most significant year-on-year growth in 2020. This growth is understandable, considering that in 2021, Dollar General was the retailer with the most U.S. stores, followed by rival Dollar Tree.

至2024年，美国境内几乎设有38,500家美元店。相较上一年，这一数字增长了约1,400家，自2021年以来更是增加了超过4,000家。在诸多行业因新冠疫情（COVID-19）及其引发的金融困境而陷入困境的2020年和2021年，美元店业在美国却迎来了显著的增长。自2007年至2020年，折扣百货业一直经历着销售下滑，但自2021年起，销售业绩实现了巨大反弹，达到自2016年以来的最高水平。美元店的表现更为出色；预计自2016年以来，其收入持续稳定增长。Dollar General的销售业绩作为市场领头羊之一，其销售模式亦反映了这一趋势。在2023财年，Dollar General的净销售额约为387亿美元。自2007年以来，该公司的销售额持续增长，其中2020年实现了显著的一年间增长。这一增长趋势是可以理解的，因为在2021年，Dollar General成为拥有最多美国门店的零售商，紧随其后的是其竞争对手Dollar Tree。
