More than 50 U.S. cities have taken measures to curb their expansion
In 2022, there were more than 37,000 dollar stores in the United States, up by 1,500 from the previous year, according to the website Statista.

According to a report by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, more than 50 cities across the U.S. have enacted laws limiting chain dollar-store expansion. Perryman pointed to the ways the discount chains have affected his community.
