Exhibit 99.5

Frequently Asked Questions

On Monday, July 28, 2014, Dollar Tree, Inc. and Family Dollar Stores, Inc. announced their entry into an agreement pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of Dollar Tree will merge with Family Dollar in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $9.2 billion, or $74.50 per share, based on the high and low trading price of Dollar Tree’s stock on Friday, July 25, 2014. The combined company will have more than 13,000 locations, $18 billion in annual sales and employ more than 145,000 Team Members.

Dollar Tree has a rich history with its roots going back more than 50 years. It is a Fortune 500 company that has grown to become one of the most successful retailers in the country with approximately 5,000 stores across the United States and Canada, supported by more than 87,000 associates. With a strong focus on offering merchandise at the $1 price point, Dollar Tree shares our deep-rooted commitment to providing customers with convenience and value, and together, the combined company will be able to provide more customers with even more value and convenience.

The announcement of the combination is the first step in a series of steps. A key milestone will be the consummation of the merger in what is referred to as ‘closing’. The combination with Dollar Tree is contingent on Family Dollar shareholder approval, receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. All of that work will take place over the coming months, and we anticipate closing to occur by early 2015. In the interim, Family Dollar remains an independent company, and it will be business as usual for all of us. Once the transaction closes, we will become a part of the newly combined company.

Your role has not changed as a result of this announcement. Your efforts, focus and commitment have made us a successful retailer today. We need you to continue to focus on your role with the same passion as before this announcement. Longer-term, we believe that our Team Members will have more opportunities for growth and development by being part of a larger, more diverse company. Until the transaction is completed, Family Dollar remains an independent company, and it will be business as usual for all of us. Our priorities have not changed and our customers must remain our number one focus. The best way you can help is to continue to concentrate on what has made Family Dollar such a successful company – by providing our customers with great customer service.

In the coming weeks, a transition-planning team will be formed consisting of leaders from both companies who will begin to plan how best to integrate the two companies following closing to ensure an orderly transition. We will look for ways to improve the value we provide to both Family Dollar and Dollar Tree customers, and how we can improve the ways both companies operate. As with any transition of this nature, it will take time, but given the complementary nature of our businesses and our similar heritage and values, we expect a strong cultural fit and smooth transition.

Until the transaction is completed, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree remain independent companies, and your benefits will remain unchanged. After the transaction is completed, we will work with Dollar Tree to determine what the best long-term compensation and benefit structure is for our teams. For Team Members who participate in equity plans, we intend to migrate to a common equity program following completion of the transaction. We will provide more information regarding future equity grants.

This is an exciting time for our business. Our suppliers are a critical part of our success. If they ask, you can share with them the press release, reinforce the important role they will play in the success of the combined company, and tell them that we look forward to their support while we grow.

You can share the information that is in the press release. You CANNOT discuss, email or communicate any specific information that is not in the press release.

We are doing this to build upon the incredible Family Dollar brand and success of Dollar Tree while capitalizing on a great opportunity in the retail marketplace. Family Dollar and Dollar Tree have different customers, different product assortments, different pricing strategies and different formats. Joining with Dollar Tree represents a tremendous opportunity to give our brand immediate access to new stores, new markets and new channels for growth. The combination creates a leading retailer in North America based on store count, operating more than 13,000 stores, with sales exceeding $18 billion and over 145,000 employees. As a combined company, we will be able to serve a broader range of customers with exciting products at a great value.

Both companies have a large presence in their respective communities and a sizable corporate headquarters facility. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to operate out of both locations.

There are no plans for relocation out of Charlotte at this time. As we work towards closing, there may be an opportunity for some Team Members to relocate.
