HB 5562 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING RETAILERS' USE OF THE PHRASE "DOLLAR STORE".

HB 5562 requires retailers in Connecticut to sell mostly $1 or less items before using the term "dollar store." Specifically, it mandates that a significant majority of goods offered must be priced at or below $1. Retailers currently marketing themselves as "dollar stores" without meeting this threshold would need to change their branding. The bill aims to prevent misleading customers about pricing, ensuring the term accurately reflects the retailer's product offerings.
