Sales totaled $6.477 billion, also better than expected, up from $6.287 billion last year. Total same-store sales inched up 0.8%. Same-store sales for Dollar Tree increased 4.7%. Family Dollar same-store sales decreased 2.8%, “compared to a very strong 15.5% increase in the prior year’s first quarter,” the company noted. The banner’s first-quarter same-store sales increase, on a two-year stacked basis, was a strong 12.7% as the Family Dollar brand continues to gain market share with its great value and compelling mix of products.
