Joliet is very similar to Family Dollar in that we've both experienced tremendous growth over the last couple of years.

Two other federal courts have found that Family Dollar store-manager positions meet and exceed these criteria, as has the U.S. Department of Labor, and we are confident that the federal appeals court will ultimately find in our favor.

The opening of our newest store in Joliet represents a significant milestone for Family Dollar and is the result of the hard work and dedication of all our Family Dollar associates.

New-store growth is a significant contributor to our goal of making Family Dollar a compelling place to shop and invest. As we have indicated, this year we are focused on improving our new-store opening processes and increasing our new-store productivity to drive better returns to our shareholders.

Love is not what we become but who we already are
