On July 2nd, 2019, Dollarama (TSX: DOL) announced that they exercised their option to acquire 50.1% of Dollarcity. This acquisition will establish the next growth era for DOL. The purchase price is approximately US$90M and is expected to close in August 2019. The transaction is immediately accretive to EPS. Dollarcity has lower margins, however I see this as an opportunity for DOL.
