New Dollar Tree In Parsippany Now Open For Business

PARSIPPANY, NJ — What's better than a Dollar Tree on Route 46? Some might say two Dollar Tree's on Route 46.

The new Dollar Tree opened recently at 1440 Route 46, and it's over 60 percent bigger than its counterpart in the Troy Hills Shopping Center — 11,242 square feet for the former, compared to the latter's 6,894.

“Dollar Tree continues to grow and we are proud to be part of the Parsippany community,” said Kayleigh Campbell, Dollar Tree’s director of investor relations. “Our stores provide customers with convenience and great value on everyday items, along with celebratory and seasonal products that Dollar Tree is best known for.”

The store's offers new products each week, including seasonal décor, household products, Hallmark greeting cards, balloons and party supplies, dinnerware, food, teaching and school necessities, health and beauty essentials, toys and books.

The new location also has an expanded Crafter's Square section, which has wood crafts and picture frames, art paper, staple-backed canvases, acrylic paints and brushes, glitter, colored pencils and crayons, markers, jewels and beads, make-your-own wreath supplies, ribbons and yarn, scrapbooking stickers, portable sewing kits and storage containers.

Additionally, the 1440 Route 46 store includes Dollar Tree's Snack Zone, which offers an expanded selection of beverages, candy, snacks and "nostalgic favorites," according to the company.

For the first time in the company's 35-year history, Dollar Tree announced last summer it would raise prices on many products to $1.25. The company said the price increase would help them manage higher merchandise and operating costs.

Dollar Tree also said it will allow them to introduce new products and bring back merchandise it discontinued because of the $1 limit. The price change will roll out in all stores by the end of March.

Several new businesses have opened recently in Parsippany, including Birdies Hot Chicken, a halal Nashville-style hot chicken joint; The Godfather of Parsippany pizzeria; and Malan Salon & MedSpa. Read more: 3 New Businesses To Check Out In Parsippany
