Dollar Tree

COO Michael C. Creedon Jr. will take over from Rick Dreiling on an interim basis as the retailer looks for a new chief executive.

The dollar store retailer continues its efforts to right-size the company as it plans additional store closures to close out the current fiscal year.

A Washington State investigation revealed the retailer sold school supplies with high levels of toxic heavy metals, lead, and cadmium.

The dollar store retailer teams with First Insight to develop new strategies to meet evolving shopper needs.

Differentiation is a key driver as retailers in the segment develop new products to boost their own-brand assortments.

The retailer is weighing several options for Family Dollar, which includes selling the dollar store chain.

The deal gives the discounter access to locations in four states in the southwest and west.

The 1 million square foot facility located in the community of Marietta served some 600 stores in the midwest.
