Dollar Tree stores in the nation and dozens  in Mahoning and Shenango Valley have removed eggs from their shelves as prices continue rising. 

According to Reuters News Agency "Egg prices have increased by as much as 60% in the last year, prompting the discount store to pull eggs over not being able to make a profit."

One manager from a local Dollar Tree says the eggs were not only pulled from shelves, but from their monthly ordering list as well. 

With Easter around the corner, the demand for eggs is high and the prices are even higher compared to two months ago

Senator Mike Rulli of Rulli Bros. believes the egg market was at its worst last year but inflation continues to impact price points. 

"Right now you're still in the $3 range of a dozen of extra large eggs," Rulli told 21 News. 

Local grocery store owners hopes to see reduced egg prices in the summer. 

The store operates roughly 8,000 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
