NEW YORK, July 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Family Dollar Stores, Inc. ("Family Dollar" or the "Company") (NYSE: FDO) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Dollar Tree, Inc. ("Dollar Tree")(NasdaqGM: DLTR).
