Hey, Dollar Stores? Amazon Is Coming After You, Too
- 6 years ago
Amazon has set its sights on dollar and discount stores.
It now has a new area on its website for "$10 and under" items that come with free shipping.
Items come from third-party merchant partners. In most cases, they don't ship directly from Amazon.
The kitschy assortment looks very similar to what you might find at a Dollar Tree or Ross store.
Dollar-store sales grew in the US from $30.4 billion in 2010 to $45.3 billion in 2015.
