Roses, opened in 1915, experienced an economic wilting by the early nineties, which necessitated its bankruptcy filing.

When Leon Levine founded his first Family Dollar Store in Charlotte in 1959, he thought one day he would have a chain of fifty to one hundred stores. Today there are over three hundred stores in seven Southeastern states. It is one of the fastest-growing retail variety chains in the nation with sales for the year ending in August 1978 exceeding $117 million.
