Berkeley's Family Dollar To Close Mid-February

BERKELEY, NJ — Family Dollar in the Berkeley Shopping Plaza will close mid-February, according to a company spokesperson. The store is holding a clearance sale in which all items are 20 percent off except tobacco, beer, wine and gift cards.

Family Dollar doesn't have an exact date for closure. But the store will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day.

Company spokesperson Kayleigh Painter told Patch in March that it would close as many as 390 stores but didn't release which locations would shutter. Read more: Family Dollar, With Berkeley Location, Closing Hundreds Of Stores

Family Dollar sells bargain goods including household cleaners, foods, health and beauty products, toys and clothes. Most items in the stores can be bought for less than $10. But the retailer has struggled in recent years and was bought by Dollar Tree in 2015. The chain of bargain brands has faced pressure to sell or revamp operations, CNN reported.

The Dollar Tree stores operate under the brands of Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and Dollar TreeCanada.
