About
Dollar Tree, Inc. is a Chesapeake, Virginia-based discount variety retailer — publicly traded on NASDAQ (NASDAQ: DLTR) as an S&P 500 Consumer Staples component — operating as a Fortune 200 company with approximately 16,000 stores across 48 states and five Canadian provinces through over 214,000 employees, with fiscal year 2024 revenue of $17.6 billion. The company's defining strategic development of 2025 was the completion of the sale of its Family Dollar business to Brigade Capital Management and Macellum Capital Management for just over $1 billion — a $8.5 billion write-down from the original $9.5 billion Family Dollar acquisition price in 2015, marking one of the largest retail acquisition failures in recent history. The divestiture concentrates Dollar Tree on its core namesake banner, which has undergone its own transformation: the company raised prices from $1.00 to $1.25 in 2022 (the first price increase in 36 years of the $1 fixed-price promise) and has expanded approximately 2,900 stores to the multi-price "3.0" format offering products up to $7. Founded in 1986 by Macon Brock and Doug Perry in Norfolk, Virginia as a single-price point variety store, Dollar Tree grew to become the dominant US single-price-point retailer before the ill-fated Family Dollar acquisition transformed it into a dual-banner company trying to serve both the $1-focused impulse buyer and the neighborhood dollar store shopper.
