 PROFILE
Penny-pinching moms are relatively important to Family Dollar Stores. The discount chain's target customer is a woman shopping for a family that makes less than $25,000 a year. Family Dollar operates about 3,800 stores in 39 states from Maine to Florida and as far west as Arizona. It offers discounted prices for clothing, food, health and beauty supplies, automotive supplies, housewares, and school supplies. The chain emphasizes small neighborhood stores near its low- and middle-income customers in rural and urban areas. Most merchandise (national brands, Family Dollar private labels, and unbranded items) is priced under $10. The family of chairman and founder Leon Levine owns about 17% of Family Dollar.
