Family Dollar is closing its location, leaving shoppers “guessing” after its store remodel months ago.

SHOPPERS have been dealt a major blow after another Family Dollar store will close its doors for good.

The decision to close the Ohio branch because it was remodeled just months ago has caused great dissatisfaction among loyal customers.

The Family The Dollar Store at 1130 North Main Street in the Miami Valley has officially posted closing signs on its doors.

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

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

She said, “There are people coming from the bridge, River Commons, Five Oaks neighborhood, up Main Street.”

“So it’s a busy store.”

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

Several customers said News Center 7 said they felt the store was in perfect working order following renovations last year.

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

McNeal added, “So we racked our brains: ‘Why rebuild if you have to close?'”

As shoppers begin counting down the days until the Family Dollar store officially closes, several discounts and savings are already being offered.

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 actually be the bigger problem.

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

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

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 a Buffalo, New York, neighborhood 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 concerned about the closures and unsure how they would find affordable shopping in the future.

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

Alcohol and tobacco could be purchased at a 20 percent discount in the final weeks of business before the South Minnesota Avenue store closed its doors for the last time in September.
