• Lack of online presence: the company still has a weak online presence and this represents a significant loss of revenue to the competition.
• A saturated market: the Dollorama group is already well represented throughout Canada and does not have much leeway to open new physical outlets.
• Limited international presence: Dollorama is only active in Canada, which does not allow it to gain new customers internationally and hampers its growth capacity.
• Strong competition: Dollorama's competitors are more and more numerous on the Canadian market, which tends to reduce its market share.
• Rising costs: Production costs are currently impacted by an increase in labor costs as well as raw material costs and are affecting the group's profitability and earnings.
