Factors at Play Dollar Tree's restructuring and expansion initiatives, including store expansion efforts and improving productivity are commendable. Also, the company leverages an extensive network of stores to effectively penetrate targeted markets, resulting in higher sales and market share. Its consistent focus on the expansion of its distribution centers to deliver chic customer experiences is an added positive. In July 2018, the company opened its 15,000th store and 23rd distribution center in Warrensburg, MO. Additionally, Dollar Tree is on track with the integration of Family Dollar, which is significantly contributing to the company's results. Notably, sales from the Family Dollar banner constituted nearly 50% of the company's consolidated sales in the last reported quarter. Following this transaction, Dollar Tree has become a mega U.S. discount retailer that can counter competition single-handedly from retail bellwethers in the dollar-discount store segment.
