Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

The operators of 99 Cents Only Stores announced last week that they would close all 371 locations, Bailey Schulz reports. That announcement follows news that nearly 600 Family Dollar locations are set to close this year. Another 400 stores under the Family Dollar and Dollar Tree banners are slated to shutter in the coming years as their leases expire.
