Yabba Dabba Doo! Dollar Tree Considers Sale of Family Dollar Amid Struggles

The Flintstone Dollar Store

Well picture this: Dollar Tree is mulling over selling its grocery focused Family Dollar brand after facing some rocky roads in the retail world. The rock solid company had previously decided to close nearly 1,000 Family Dollar stores to give the business a modern stone age makeover.

Yabba Dabba Doo!

The iconic discounter shut down over 500 locations during its recent fiscal first quarter. The company shared 'We're starting to see some improvements in our revamped Family Dollar brand.' Wilma's like 'I told you so!'

Stone Age Competition

Ever since buying Family Dollar for a rock solid $9 billion back in 2015 Dollar Tree has been on a wild ride trying to keep up with its rival Dollar General. The fortunes of Flintstone's Bedrock and Rockville sure are rocky!

Wilma We're in Trouble

With falling shares and less than expected earnings Dollar Tree is working with some Bedrock buddies JPMorgan and Davis Polk & Wardwell to figure out a way forward for the struggling Family Dollar. Looks like their pet dinosaur Dino is next in line for budget cuts!

Rocking the Numbers

In their latest earnings report Dollar Tree's sales for Dollar Tree stores slightly grew but Family Dollar is stuck in the Stone Age with minimal sales growth. At least Mr. Slate is happy with some revenue increase.

Fred's Final Thoughts

As Dollar Tree navigates these financial caves it's clear they're trying to innovate to survive among modern day mammoths like Walmart and e commerce giants. But with CEO Fred Flintstone oops Richard Dreiling leading the charge the company hopes to come out of this stone age mess stronger. Let's hope for some rock solid results soon!
