Dollar Tree is a discount retailer that Randy Johnson discusses in a commentary video about its pricing. He presents it as a store he considered the only true dollar store because its items were at or below one dollar, then reacts to the move to $1.25 pricing with disappointment but not alarm about the chain's survival.
Pricing change
Randy contrasts Dollar Tree with Family Dollar and Dollar General, saying Dollar Tree had an edge when every item was a dollar or less. He says the new pricing means it is no longer a true dollar store, but he doubts the change will hurt business much because the other chains already charge more than a dollar for many items.
