Question · Q2 2026
Chuck Roth asked how Dollar Tree's buying team has evolved with multi-price experience, how incremental markdowns are handled, and the progress on expanding price points beyond $1.25.
Answer
CEO Michael Creedon praised the merchant team's agility in navigating tariffs and cost pressures using the 'five levers.' He reiterated that 85% of the store remains $2 or less, with the expanded assortment enhancing value and discovery. Zone pricing is a lower priority due to the focus on tariff mitigation.
