It's obvious now that it's going to be a very long year for both Dollar Tree and Family Dollar stores as suddenly there are even more Illinois locations that have landed on the closing soon list.
These aren't the first Missouri Family Dollar stores to close and they almost certainly won't be the last. However, there are now confirmed reports that more Dollar Tree is indeed confirming more Missouri Family Dollar locations.
Well, this was unexpected by many. What began as a purchase of one big bargain retailer by another has resulted in 1,000 Family Dollar stores closing. The question now is if and/or how many Missouri and Illinois locations will be affected.
