Family Dollar Jobs and Profile

Company Overview:

The first Family Dollar store opened in Charlotte , NC , in 1959. It was a relatively small, self-service operation located in a neighborhood, convenient to low and middle-income consumers. The merchandise assortment featured basic goods for family and home needs, and the no frills, low overhead, cash-and-carry environment provided good value at the lowest price points. As new stores opened in the early years of the Company's existence, it became clear that this merchandising concept filled a niche in the marketplace and held great promise for supporting a chain of much larger size.  

With over 6,500 in 44 states, Family Dollar offers opportunity for those seeking advancement.  If you are looking to launch your career with a Fortune 500 company, please read on!
