Well, this was unexpected by many. What began as a purchase of one big bargain retailer by another has resulted in 1,000 Family Dollar stores closing. The question now is if and/or how many Missouri and Illinois locations will be affected.
Normally when there's a recall notice, it's for one or two products. Even the bigger recall notices that we see only cover maybe 10-15 items. But this announcement from Family Dollar stores covers literally hundreds of products that are being pulled from store shelves.
