Notes & usage:

• These chains target the same value-seeking shoppers as Dollar Tree across seasonal, party, household, snacks, HBA, toys, stationery, and impulse items.
• To become a supplier, expect formal vendor approval/onboarding (applications, compliance, testing/audits, EDI, insurance, ethics & social compliance). See, for example: Walmart supplier application & requirements, Target supplier intake / Target Plus invite-only, Dollar General vendor guides (including approvals & C-TPAT/security), Big Lots onboarding, and Costco vendor process/standards. If you actually needed wholesale suppliers/distributors (not retail competitors), say the word and I’ll swap in a 100-supplier list tailored for your categories (e.g., party, HBA, seasonal, snacks) with direct vendor-application links.
