The stores say that things are costing them more money. This is because of changes in trade rules. These changes are from tariffs on goods from China.

The stores will change prices on April 25. They did not say how much prices will change. The stores used almost the same words to tell people about the price changes.

Shein and Temu sell things for very low prices. They also use lots of ads to get people to buy things. This has made it hard for other stores to sell things.
