  • Dollar Tree said on Wednesday it will sell its Family Dollar business to a consortium of private-equity investors for about $1 billion, as the struggling discount-store chain looks to restructure its business and cut costs.

Dollar Tree Inc. has announced plans to sell its Family Dollar business for $1 billion to a private equity firm, Sycamore Partners, as part of a strategic move to streamline operations and focus on its core Dollar Tree brand. This decision comes after years of challenges for Family Dollar, including competition from other discount retailers, store maintenance issues, and a significant fine for safety violations. The sale aims to allow Dollar Tree to reduce its debt and improve its financial flexibility, while Sycamore Partners believes it can turn around Family Dollar's fortunes by investing in store improvements and expanding its product offerings. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2024, pending regulatory approval.
