Family Dollar announces huge 30% off sale before store closes in just a few days – Appointment to shop

FAMILY Dollar has announced an incredible 30% store sale before closing a location in just a few days.

Shoppers have been dealt a huge blow after the decision was made to close the branch – despite it being remodeled just months ago.

The Family Dollar store on North Main Street in Dayton, Ohio has officially posted closure signs on its doors.

The signs have shocked many as the store has been known as a busy and popular shopping hotspot for years.

However, one bright spot in light of the closure is the current 20% discount on items, which is set to last for an entire week.

Then the store will probably offer an incredible 30% discount, it was said, for a whole week.

There will be another week of sales after that, which will further reduce costs for customers in Family Dollar’s final week of operation.

Riverdale Neighborhood Association spokeswoman Victoria McNeal said she was surprised by the store’s closure.

“There are people coming from the other side of the bridge, the River Commons, the Five Oaks area and Main Street,” she told local CBS affiliate WHIO-TV.

“So it’s a busy store.”

For disappointed buyers, the exact closing date has not yet been announced.

Several customers told WHIO-TV that they felt the store was in perfect working order after last year’s renovation.

The owners also decided to redesign the parking lot outside, buyers say.

“So we thought, ‘Why rebuild if you have to close?'” McNeal added.

Some people have suggested that the store is set to close due to the sharp increase in shoplifting in recent months, which has negatively impacted the business.

But McNeal believes that while petty theft may have played a role, cash problems may be the bigger problem.

“People are probably stealing, but that can’t be the only reason you’re closing,” she said.

“I think it has to do with staff maintenance and maybe pay.”

Buyers don’t have to travel far to get to the next closest location Family Dollar business, as there are 25 other locations in Montgomery County.

The nearest store is in the Riverdale district, less than 10 minutes away.

In recent months, the chain has announced thousands of closures due to financial difficulties.

Family Dollar, which has about 8,000 locations nationwide, has struggled since it was acquired by Dollar Tree for $8.5 billion in 2015.

The acquisition was intended to help Dollar Tree compete against larger competitors, but integration was difficult.

In May, Family Dollar shoppers in Buffalo, New York, lost six stores at once.

Many area residents are considered low-income and have difficulty shopping at many of the area’s more expensive stores.

They said they were worried about the closures and unsure how they would now find affordable shopping in the city Future.

One of the last stores to close was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Alcohol and tobacco were available for purchase at a 20% discount in the final weeks of business before the South Minnesota Avenue store closed its doors for the last time in September.

Dollar Tree, Family Dollar’s parent company, said it would close about 1,000 stores in the coming years.

The company said in March it was closing stores after the value of the discount retailer it acquired nearly a decade ago plummeted.

Dollar Tree plans to close about 600 Family Dollar stores in the first half of this year.

Subsequently, 370 Family Dollar and 30 Dollar Tree stores will close over the next few years.

The discount chain has also pointed out that sales are being affected by the cost of living crisis and inflation.

But USA Today added that Dollar Tree was also affected by reduced federal benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

This has left families struggling to balance their finances as they find themselves up to $250 less per month.
