Family Dollar is a US discount retailer with around 7,400 locations across the United States, founded in 1959 in Charlotte North Carolina by Leon Levine and now a standalone private company since July 2025 (Brigade Capital Management and Macellum Capital Management acquired Family Dollar from Dollar Tree Inc for $1 billion, ending the 10-year corporate marriage that began with the 2015 Dollar Tree acquisition), headquartered in Chesapeake Virginia, known for the variety-pricing model (not the $1.25 fixed-price model used at Dollar Tree), urban small-format roughly 7,500 to 9,000-square-foot stores serving rural and urban underserved markets, expanded grocery and household basics relative to Dollar Tree, and EBT/SNAP acceptance.

The questions readers actually ask: what time does Family Dollar open today, when does the store close, are they open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter, do any Family Dollar stores stay open 24 hours, and Sunday hours.

Two Family Dollar specific things worth knowing: most stores run 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM seven days a week with urban and higher-volume stores extending close to 10:00 PM, and the chain has no 24-hour locations; the chain is closed on Christmas Day chain-wide and runs reduced 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM hours on Thanksgiving Day plus reduced Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day hours. Former parent Dollar Tree follows a similar 8 AM to 9 PM model with the same Christmas Day closure pattern. Fellow recent-ownership-transition discount sibling Big Lots (acquired by Variety Wholesalers January 2025 after Chapter 11) shares the Thanksgiving + Christmas Day closure model.
