Not so long ago Dollar Tree the owner of Family Dollar also told of a reorganization strategy to strengthen their brand which included closing some of their under performing stores. Now in a new release they unveil more of their plans including adding alcohol add freezers or cooler compartments. The Release stating:

• The Company plans to re-banner approximately 200 Family Dollar stores to the Dollar Tree brand in fiscal 2019.

• Additionally, the Company plans to add adult beverage product in approximately 1,000 Family Dollar stores and expand freezers and coolers in approximately 400 Family Dollar stores in fiscal 2019.
