Howard Levine Year Quotations

I think this is the best year yet. We have had such a terrific response from food and wine establishments, who have been calling to be involved in Foothill Celebration. There is a lot of creativity here, with the music, food, art and wine; it all comes together with such a verve and excitement that the energy is hard to contain. It is going to be a great day.

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.
