Dollar Tree considers selling or spinning off Family Dollar due to weak consumer demand, as analyst Sucharita Kodali notes the consumer's fatigue with the economy despite record-high retail spending. While Walmart and warehouse clubs thrive on value, Dollar Tree struggles due to an oversaturated dollar store market, outdated stores, and hesitance to invest in renovations. The company's pivot reflects consumers moving towards value-oriented retailers, highlighting the need for strategic improvements to stay competitive.
