Double the Dollar at Family Dollar Tree

 

    In an effort to expand to more rural areas, Dollar Tree has opted to open locations that use both the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar branding. A location actually opened up nearby using this format, so of course I had to check it out. 

As you can see from the following pictures, the store is basically a Family Dollar with a Dollar Tree department consisting of 3 and a half aisles in the front right corner. In retrospect, this makes a lot of sense as there is a significant product overlap between the two different brands. For example, the snacks and candy that Dollar Tree would sell at its standalone locations are put into Family Dollar's pantry area here. In addition to the 3 1/2 aisles, there may have been a little section in the pantry department though that does offer some pantry items that Family Dollar wouldn't normally sell.
