Too Many Dollar Trees?

Are there/will there be too many Dollar Trees in or near Ontario, California?

This used to be my Alpha Beta, a grocery store chain acquired by Kroger and Albertsons.

Then it became a 99 Cents Only Store. (Actually a 99.99 Cents Only Store, but close enough.) And we know what happened there.

Now this location, on Mountain Avenue near D St. in Ontario, California, is slated to become a Dollar Tree. (Actually a Dollar Twenty Five Tree, but close enough.)

Just like the former 99 Cents Only Store on Euclid near Francis, which has already reopened as a Dollar Tree.

And just like the three Dollar Trees within a two mile radius in Ontario, Upland, and Montclair.

Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt all of them will survive. The dollar store market hasn’t gotten appreciably better.

Mountain and D, Ontario, California.
