Recent publications
For fiscal year 2024, Dollarama reported sales of $5.867 billion, up 16.1% from the previous year. This increase is attributed to the opening of new stores and a comparable sales increase of 12.8%.
Expansion and new openings
Dollarama plans to open 60 to 70 new stores in fiscal year 2024, after opening 65 new stores in 2023. This expansion aims to meet Canadian consumers' growing demand for affordable products, especially during periods of high inflation.
Challenges and strategic responses
The company faces several challenges, including increased labor costs and increased inventory losses due to shoplifting and damage, a common occurrence in the retail industry. To address this, Dollarama has implemented loss management initiatives, including overhauling self-service kiosks and increasing in-store security.
International expansion
In addition to its national expansion, Dollarama is exploring opportunities in international markets. The company owns a majority stake in Dollarcity, a discount store chain operating in Latin America, including Colombia, El Salvador and Guatemala. This international expansion allows Dollarama to diversify its sources of revenue and capitalize on the growth of emerging markets
