Retailers from Dollar General to Lululemon slash product lines to boost margins

Major US retailers including Dollar General, BJ's Wholesale Club, Lululemon, and Under Armour are reducing their product ranges to improve profitability. Dollar General cut 1,500 stock-keeping units in March, whilst BJ's reduced its assortment by 25% and plans further 25% cuts. Lululemon trimmed North America SKUs by 15% in September. The strategy aims to reduce discounting and boost pricing power. Under Armour's CEO Kevin Plank said the company would "sell so much more of so many less products at a much higher full retail price." However, the approach carries risks. Retailers may lose customers to competitors offering discontinued items, and must justify short-term revenue declines to investors. BJ's acknowledged a previous SKU reduction attempt was unsuccessful before refining its approach.
