Family Dollar has closed approximately 350 stores nationwide over the past 10 months as part of a larger plan to shutter up to 1,000 underperforming locations, according to Local Falcon.
The closures are primarily driven by inflation and reduced government assistance programs, which have significantly impacted lower-income shoppers. Texas has seen the most closures with 35 stores, followed by Ohio with 28 and Georgia with 26, though six states remain unaffected by the latest wave.
In July 2025, Dollar Tree sold Family Dollar to investment firms Brigade Capital Management and Macellum Capital Management for approximately $1 billion. Despite the ongoing downsizing, Family Dollar announced plans to open smaller, more cost-effective stores in densely populated urban areas to revitalize the business while still operating over 7,000 locations.
