Off-price retailers are relatively protected from the impact of potential tariffs, which have become a topic of concern following Donald Trump’s presidency. Economists suggest that while mainstream retailers might face challenges due to rising tariffs, off-price businesses like Burlington and TJX primarily source domestically, minimizing their exposure to tariff costs. This situation could lead to increased inventory availability and advantageous pricing for off-price retailers, especially if competitors raise their prices. As a result, these retailers are well-positioned to maintain their value advantage in the market despite the uncertainty surrounding tariffs.
