Pay $8.5-9B. Waste lots of effort! Sell for $1B!

Dollar Tree said on Wednesday a consortium of private-equity investors will buy its Family Dollar business for about $1 billion, bringing an end to its nearly year-long search for potential buyers for the troubled discount-store chain.

The 66-year-old business, which Dollar Tree bought in 2015 for about $9 billion, had been grappling with competition from big-box retailers such as Walmart
, and online retailers including Amazon
, Shein and Temu.

Dollar Tree’s shares were up 3% in premarket trading after the sale of Family Dollar to Brigade Capital Management and Macellum Capital Management.

so what i'm hearing is that it will be another ~3-5 years before the Privates can rev up enough growth fanboy interest to lever up and buy it back for $10B.
