"Deals" (frequently typset as DEAL$) is an American chain of discount variety stores. Currently there are more than 180 stores throughout the 48 contiguous United States
Previously owned by Save-A-Lot, Dollar Tree, Inc. purchased Deals in 2006 and is the current owner and operator. In 2008, Deals launched its new e-commerce website (http://www.deals-stores.com). Deals-Stores.com sells merchandise in larger quantities to individuals, small businesses, and organizations. The company also advertises in-store events, specials, seasonal promotions, and featured products through the site. Users can locate a retail store, research information about Deals, and view product recalls.
Each Deals store stocks a variety of products including national, regional, and private-label brands. Departments found in a Deals store include health and beauty, food and snacks, party, seasonal décor, housewares, glassware, dinnerware, household cleaning supplies, candy, toys, gifts, gift bags and wrap, stationery, craft supplies, teaching supplies and books. Some Deals stores also sell frozen foods and dairy items such as milk, eggs, pizza, ice cream, frozen dinners, and pre-made baked goods.
