CLEVELAND — Dozens of Family Dollar and Dollar Tree locations are set to close across Ohio this week.
According to a WARN Notice issued to the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services, the Vice President of Human Resources for Family Dollar Stores said the closures should impact about 265 employees across the state.
The notice goes on to say that those employees will be laid off on or about April 20, 2024.
Here's a list of locations set to close in Northeast Ohio:
- 6704 N Ridge Road, Madison (Lake County)
- 9302 Miles Avenue, Cleveland (Cuyahoga County)
- 1250 E 105th Street, Cleveland (Cuyahoga County)
- 19 N Arlington Street, Akron (Summit County)
- 580 Vernon Odom Boulevard, Akron (Summit County)
- 2138 State Route 45, Austinsburg (Ashtabula County)
- 400 Oberlin Road, Elyria (Lorain County)
A News 5 reporter who went to the Elyria location midday Friday found the doors locked.
Elyria city councilman Brad Armstrong sent News 5 this statement: “The beginning of 2024 has been rough on my residents. With the closure of the Carlisle township ALDI and now the south Elyria Family Dollar, it creates difficulties, especially for individuals with no transportation to get their nutritional needs at this current time. I am working very hard on finding solutions to this issue. My residents deserve better.”
News 5 reported on the closing of that ALDI back in February.
