Dollar Tree, Family Dollar To Open Four New Garden State Stores

 By Linda Moss CoStar News

Expanding Dollar Tree and its sister discount-variety chain Family Dollar have signed leases for four new stores in New Jersey, in two cases occupying former Pier 1 Imports locations.

Dollar Tree, headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, is the one moving into two vacant Pier 1 sites.

Earlier this month, parent Dollar Tree said it plans to open 600 new stores under its banner name and that of Family Dollar while renovating 1,250 Family Dollar locations. Of the debuting sites, 400 Dollar Tree stores are on the agenda for this year and 200 are slated as Family Dollar.

Dollar Tree executed a lease for a 9,200-square-foot free-standing building at Riverdale Crossing at 48 Route 23, near Interstate 287 in Riverdale in Morris County. The store is slated to debut in the second quarter in the former Pier 1 space at the 260,000-square-foot Riverdale shopping center, which is anchored by Walmart.

In Monmouth County, Dollar Tree signed a lease for a 9,460-square-foot end-cap store at The Orchards at Wall, at 2410 Highway 35 in Manasquan. That site is also scheduled to open in the second quarter at former Pier 1 space. Dollar Tree will join a Fred Astaire dance studio and Via Veneto Ristorante at the 22,504-square-foot center.

In addition, Family Dollar now has a lease for a 10,382-square-foot space at 490 Chamberlain Ave. in Paterson. The chain expects to open in the third quarter in the center's former Rite Aid space. Other tenants in the 23,800-square-foot Passaic County property include Valley National Bank, Dunkin' Donuts and a soon-to-open DaVita dialysis center.

Family Dollar will also be leasing 9,700 square feet at 217 Main St. in West Orange. That location, expected to open in October, will join CVS Pharmacy in the 24,200-square-foot property.

Mobile Health Solutions is also opening five additional Garden State sites for coronavirus-testing facilities for Mobile Health Solutions, an affiliate of Red Bank, New Jersey-based Immediate Care. They are located at municipal sites in Bayonne, Elizabeth, Jersey City — with two locations — and Plainsboro.

Housed in retrofitted shipping containers, 12 sites are now operating throughout central and northern New Jersey, with additional locations in the pipeline.
