Surging inflation due to the deepening of supply chain disruptions has made everyday essentials expensive for consumers. Therefore, offering merchandise at comparatively lower prices has led to discount stores witnessing increasing store traffic. The U.S. discount department stores industry is expected to grow 0.8% and generate $99.20 billion in revenue in 2022.
