by Kristin Harlow

CHESAPEAKE, VA. AND NEW YORK CITY — Dollar Tree Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR) has agreed to sell the Family Dollar business segment to Brigade Capital Management LP and Macellum Capital Management LLC for $1 billion. The sales price represents a fraction of the $8.5 billion that Dollar Tree paid for the discount brand in 2015. Family Dollar will remain headquartered in Chesapeake.

In March 2024, Dollar Tree unveiled plans to close approximately 970 underperforming Family Dollar stores. After a review of potential alternatives for the Family Dollar business segment, the Dollar Tree leadership team and board of directors determined that a sale of Family Dollar to Brigade and Macellum best unlocks value for Dollar Tree shareholders and positions Family Dollar for future success. “This is a major milestone in our multi-year transformation journey to help us fully achieve our potential,” says Mike Creedon, CEO of Dollar Tree. “We will continue to grow and optimize our Dollar Tree business to maximize value for Dollar Tree associates, customers and shareholders with an enhanced focus on compelling initiatives, including our expanded assortment, significant planned new store …
