Of course, there is also a large network of non-food discount stores in the USA. With Dollar Tree ($DLTR (+4,98%)), Dollar General ($DG (+1,64%)) and Five Below ($FIVE (-2,19%)), there are at least three listed companies. I have also included the off-price retailer TJX Companies, better known here as TK Maxx, on the list.

In FY2023, the leading non-food discounters Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Five Below and TJX Companies posted respectable sales and solid EBITDA performance, indicating robust demand and their efficiency strategies.

Dollar Tree generated sales of USD 30.6 billion and EBITDA of USD 3.004 billion. The discount giant was able to increase its performance through a broad product range and a successful store network.

Dollar General achieved the highest sales in this group with USD 37.8 billion and an EBITDA of USD 4 billion. The company benefited from its extensive presence and a strong price-performance strategy that appeals to price-conscious customers.

Five Below achieved sales of USD 3.1 billion and EBITDA of USD 516 million. Focusing on young customer groups and inexpensive trend articles, the company recorded further growth, albeit at a lower sales level than its established competitors.

TJX Companies, the parent company of TK Maxx, reported sales of USD 49.9 billion and the highest EBITDA in the Group at USD 6.1 billion. With off-price offers and an established brand, TJX was able to further expand its leading position in the market for affordable fashion and household goods.

You can invest directly in all companies. It is interesting to note that the asset managers Black Rock and Vanguard are invested in all US companies, in some cases with considerable stakes.
