10. Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR)
> Pct. of Americans visiting in March: 18.90%
> Number of U.S. stores: 5,157
> Store category: Shopping

Nearly 19% of American consumers visited a Dollar Tree in March, making the discount retailer the 10th most visited store in the country. As opposed to many other discount variety stores, Dollar Tree boasts a price tag of literally one dollar for a substantial portion of its merchandise. While Dollar Tree is not a restaurant, about half of its merchandise is consumable, which may help increase the volume of the store’s customers. Since food is generally purchased more frequently than other goods, stores selling consumable products like food usually have more visitors, independent of their popularity. There are 5,157 Dollar Tree stores in the country. Since its acquisition of Family Dollar in January, however, the company’s total store count has increased dramatically. Dollar Tree now controls more than 8,100 Family Dollar stores.
