Family Dollar Closing Stores Due to Underperforming Sales
Family Dollar, a major retailer in the US, is planning to close nearly a thousand stores over the next few years, with 600 closures set for this year. The decision came after disappointing sales performance, with Family Dollar stores experiencing a decrease in same-store sales by 1.2% while Dollar Tree saw an increase. This move surprised investors, highlighting the stark contrast in performance between Family Dollar and its rival Dollar General, the fastest-growing retailer in the US. The geographical differences in their store locations also play a significant role in their performance.
