02:03 PM EST, 02/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Dollar Tree's ( DLTR ) discount retail brand Family Dollar has attracted takeover interest from various private equity firms including Apollo Global Management ( APO ) and Sycamore Partners, Reuters reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Sources also said asset management firm Brigade Capital Management has shown interest in acquiring the discount retailer.

A deal for Family Dollar, which could be worth billions, is not expected soon, and Dollar Tree ( DLTR ) may decide not to sell the business, the sources were quoted as saying. Dollar Tree ( DLTR ) has been working with JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) since June last year to explore options, including a sale or spinoff of Family Dollar, the report said.

Dollar Tree ( DLTR ), Apollo Global Management ( APO ), and Sycamore Partners did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comments.
