Family Dollar is an American privately held company. The company was founded in 1959 when the first Family Dollar store was opened in Charlotte, North Carolina. The main idea of the founder Leon Levine was to open a low-overhead, good-value store that would sell merchandise for under several dollars. Leon Levine has never imagined that he would soon run a huge company that would operate a chain of Family Dollar stores. Already in 1970 the company has completed its public offering.

At the present time there are more than five thousand Family Dollar stores all over the United States of America. Please try to contact Family Dollar Customer Service directly prior to posting any complaints on this site.

Supermarkets and Malls
For some people store is like a paradise. A store is a retail establishment selling items to the public. There are different types of stores: department stores, shops, retail outlets, boutiques, department stores, chain stores, emporiums, supermarkets, superstores and megastores. Shopping is a unique way to spend time. Nothing can upset us more or vice versa, makes us the happiest people in the world. And it is all not about things you buy, but about the mood and the feeling of pleasure these things bring you. And sometimes even some grocery products bought in a food store mixed with good customer service and nice place to shop can turn into perfect shopping experience. People say that money cannot buy happiness. But our lives prove the opposite. And stores can prove it sometimes.
