While the weak economic climate of recent years may have initially driven
shoppers to "try" small format value retailers, leading players in the channel
are extending their appeal to multiple consumer segments. According to Retail
Forward's ShopperScape™ consumer survey, over one-third (36%) of all US
households regularly shop the format on a monthly basis. Once a haven for
low-income households, dollar stores hold growing appeal for moderate and
upper-income households, older consumers, and ethnic groups. Easy access with
more stores in suburban and urban locations, improved assortment quality,
bargain prices, and the treasure trove atmosphere contribute to the overall
success of the dollar store concept.
Dollar stores and other small format value retailers have sustained solid
financial performance in recent years, while many other retailing formats have
struggled. However, sustaining performance in the years to come might prove
challenging. Retail Forward expects that as the store base becomes larger and
units mature, same store sales will be harder to achieve.
The growing number of dollar stores brings more intense competition, more market
share battles, and more vying for consumer attention. Dollar stores are expected
to continue adding more food and other household essentials to their merchandise
offer. In turn, more traditional food, drug, and mass players will look to
exploit dollar store popularity by launching their own versions of the dollar
concept. As a result, Retail Forward expects that the lines of demarcation
between retail channels will blur even further in the years ahead.
