Earlier in March this year, Dollar Tree announced the closure of over 600 of its Family Dollar stores across the United States. The company was said to have experienced significant underperformance in 2023, prompting this decision.
“While we are still in the early stages of our transformation journey, I am proud of what our team accomplished in 2023 and see a long runway of growth ahead of us,” said the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rick Dreiling in the press release. “As we look forward in 2024, we are accelerating our multi-price rollout at Dollar Tree and taking decisive action to improve profitability and unlock value at Family Dollar.”
