Dollar Tree CEO, Rick Dreiling has announced the closure of Family Dollar store outlets in 2024. See the full list of closed store locations across the US.
Dollar Tree has announced the closure of about 600 of its Family Dollar store locations in 2024. Following this, the operators of 99 Cents Only stores have also announced plans to close about 371 locations across the US.
Why are so many Dollar stores closing?
The dollar store format has always been of help to customers over the decade, as they can have access to quality products at pocket-friendly prices.
However, the economic condition has brought about changes as these stores are being affected by inflation and reduced benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme (SNAP), as well as inventory losses. Aside from these, there are also issues of mismanagement at some stores.
In February, Family Dollar paid a sum of $41.6 million penalty for storing food, drugs, and other products in a rodent-infested warehouse in Arkansas for many years.
