Summary
Family Dollar announced it will close its Matthews distribution center in August, terminating the retailer's distribution operations in North Carolina and resulting in 373 lost jobs. The closure was described as the largest single regional job cut this year in the Charlotte area and ends distribution operations that began nearly 70 years ago. Dollar Tree acquired Family Dollar in 2015; since that sale, more than 1,600 Matthews jobs have been cut or moved, a historical context noted in the article. The plan is reflected in WARN notices filed with the state's Department of Commerce and is part of a broader surge in layoffs in North Carolina through July 2026.
