corporate profile Family Dollar is a chain of more than 6,500 stores. Our merchandise
strategy is simple: offer quality merchandise at everyday low prices in easy-to-shop
neighborhood locations.
Family Dollar stores are located in a 44-state area ranging northeast to Maine, southeast
to Florida, as far northwest as Idaho and southwest to Arizona. On average, our stores
range in size from 7,500 square feet to 9,000 square feet and most are operated in leased
facilities. This relatively small size enables us to open new stores in rural areas, small
towns and large urban neighborhoods.
Our headquarters are located in Matthews, North Carolina, just outside of Charlotte.
We operate automated, full-service distribution centers in Matthews; West Memphis,
Arkansas; Front Royal, Virginia; Duncan, Oklahoma; Morehead, Kentucky; Maquoketa,
Iowa; Odessa, Texas; Marianna, Florida; and Rome, New York.
Family Dollar has been a publicly held corporation since 1970 and its Common Stock is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol: FDO.
