Overheads.

Wal Mart has over 2 million employees worldwide with revenue of $404 bn giving a gross per employee revenue of $20,000.

Dollar tree has 12,500 employees in 3,600 US locations with revenue of $4.64 bn giving a per employee revenue of $371,000 and an average of 4 employees per store.

Wal-Mart may have better buying power, but the suppliers also need to make a profit.

Even if they buy in goods cheaper, Wal-Mart has to add on the cost of all those employees and other overheads which far exceed those of Dollar Tree.
