DOLLAR TREE ANNOUNCES INTENT TO ACQUIRE DEAL$ STORES

CHESAPEAKE, Va. - February 22, 2006 - Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR), the nation’s largest $1.00 discount variety store chain, today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent to purchase stores and related assets of the Deal$-Nothing Over a Dollar chain, which is owned by SUPERVALU INC. (NYSE:SVU).

Under the terms of the proposed agreement, Dollar Tree would acquire 138 Deal$ stores including store assets, leasehold rights and certain intellectual property for approximately $30.5 million in cash, subject to customary closing conditions. In addition, Dollar Tree will purchase a yet-to-be- determined amount of inventory from Deals. It is anticipated that the transaction will be completed by the end of March.

Based in St. Louis, MO, Deal$ stores offer a wide assortment of quality general merchandise, contemporary seasonal goods and everyday consumables. The stores average 11,000 gross square feet and operate in 16 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

“I am excited about the opportunity that this acquisition provides to expand our presence in the Midwest and Southeast regions,” said Bob Sasser, President and CEO. “We have existing logistics capacity to service all of these stores efficiently with no additional capital expenditure. Furthermore, the Deals acquisition includes a number of “combo” stores that offer an expanded assortment of merchandise including items selling for more than $1. All Deal$ stores will continue to operate under the Deal$ banner and they will provide an opportunity to leverage the Dollar Tree infrastructure in the development of a multi priced business without disrupting the single price point model in Dollar Tree Stores.

The Company will provide further commentary on this transaction, along with a review of fourth quarter 2005 operating results and initial 2006 guidance during the Company’s fourth quarter conference call at 9:00 a.m. EST Wednesday, February 22, 2006.
