==History==
On April 27, 1989, the first “Dollar Tree”-branded store opened at the Jessamine Mall in Sumter, South Carolina.https://www.newspapers.com/image/668736391/ In a May 1989 advertisement in the Sun-News, the fledgling chain, apparently already planning 100 stores for the eastern United States, bills the dollar-pricing model as the “hottest new shopping concept in America."https://www.newspapers.com/image/807793491/ 
In 1993, the name Only $1.00 was changed to Dollar Tree Stores to address what could be a multi-price-point strategy in the future, and part equity interest was sold to SKM partners.http://www.dollartree.com/custserv/custserv.jsp?pageName=History&parentName=About 
Brock and the co-founders of Dollar Tree got the idea for the company from another retailer known as Everything's A Dollar, which went bankrupt in the 1990s.https://www.wsj.com/articles/macon-brock-dollar-tree-founder-searched-the-world-for-bargains-1513954800 
In January 2015, Dollar Tree announced plans to divest 300 stores in order to appease US regulators scrutinizing its proposed takeover of Family Dollar stores.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-family-dollar-st-m-a-idUSKBN0KL0YP20150112 
In March 2019, as part of its reposition plan, Dollar Tree announced that it will close up to 390 Family Dollar stores along with renovating 1,000 other locations.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/06/dollar-tree-to-close-up-to-390-family-dollar-stores-this-year.html
