You know the economy is bad when there is fierce competition and mergers in the dollar store industry.

Not really. Even dollar stores face competition from online retailing.

In fact, there's an interesting dynamic in traditional retailing where these companies may even get consolidated to the point where they have no traditional competitors. This never would have been permitted in the past under anti-trust regulations, but every major retailer competes with Amazon these days.
