Exhibit 99.2

INTER-OFFICE MEMO

Today we issued a press release confirming that Dollar General has commenced an unsolicited conditional tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Family Dollar at a price of $80.00 per share in cash. A copy of the release is attached for your reference. For many of us, this is a new process. Attached for your review are some definitions of key terms that you may find helpful.

Our Board of Directors, in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, will review and consider this tender offer in accordance with applicable law. Following completion of this review and consideration, Family Dollar will advise shareholders of the Board’s position regarding the tender offer by making available to shareholders, and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9. Applicable securities laws prevent Family Dollar from making any further comments on Dollar General’s tender offer or its terms until after this filing is made on Schedule 14D-9 which will be no later than September 23, 2014. Family Dollar shareholders are advised to take no action until then.

Importantly, Family Dollar remains subject to its merger agreement with Dollar Tree and our Board has not changed its recommendation in support of the merger with Dollar Tree.

While I understand that news like this can be distracting, it is important to remember that our customers and teams continue to rely on us. It remains business as usual at Family Dollar and we must continue to stay focused on our goals, performance and our day-to-day responsibilities.

As I hope you can appreciate, there is limited additional information we can share at this time. Please know that the Board and management team are committed to doing what is in the best interests of our company, Team Members and shareholders, and we will communicate with you as often and as fully as we are allowed.

As before, we expect this announcement will lead to inquiries from external parties, and I wanted to remind you that, consistent with company policy, to please forward any inquiries from members of the media, investment community or other interested parties to Kiley Rawlins, VP – Investor Relations and Communications, at (704) 708-2858.

On behalf of the Board and management team, I thank you for your continued hard work and dedication to Family Dollar.

Glossary of Terms

Tender Offer

A tender offer is a public bid for shareholders to sell their stock. Typically, a tender offer is commenced when the offeror places a summary advertisement, or “tombstone,” in a major national newspaper, and the offer to purchase is printed and mailed to the target company’s shareholders. A tender offer must comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC, which include certain minimum offering periods, withdrawal rights, manner of publication and other requirements. The consummation of a tender offer is customarily subject to certain conditions related to a minimum number of shares being tendered, satisfaction of required regulatory approvals, waivers of state takeover statutes and the target company’s stockholder rights plan by the target company and various other matters.

Schedule TO

The buyer’s tender offer statement. This is the official legal document that describes the offer, and includes the “offer to purchase,” the document that gets sent to shareholders. It is required to include, among other things, the target’s name; the number of shares sought and the price offered; any conditions attached to the offer; the background of any discussions or other contacts between the buyer and the target; the source and amount of funds the buyer has available for the purpose; the reasons the buyer is making the offer and what it proposes to do if it succeeds; and who is soliciting shares for the buyer. Dollar General’s schedule TO was filed on September 10, 2014.

Schedule 14D-9

The target company’s SEC filing in response to an offer. It is, in effect, a description of the target Board’s recommendation concerning the offer. Whether the Board advises shareholders to accept or reject, the company has to file this schedule. It includes: who the board members are, which securities they are talking about and whether they have made any arrangements with the bidder or among their own shareholders. Family Dollar’s 14D-9 will be filed no later than September 23, 2014.

Offer Date

The day the offer commences, signaled by the mailing of an offer to target shareholders and/or placement of a “tombstone” ad in the national editions of the Wall Street Journal or The New York Times.

Expiration Date

Last date that the bidder will accept tendered shares, subject to satisfaction of any conditions to the offer (as discussed above). The SEC’s Williams Act of 1969 requires a minimum 20-business day period for acceptance. The bidder can extend the expiration date.
