Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Dollar Tree, Inc., a Virginia corporation (the “Company”), and to the Guarantors (as herein defined) and are delivering this opinion letter in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to the registration under the Securities Act of the offering and issuance by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company who will act as guarantors (the “Guarantors”) of (i) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.250% Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Exchange Notes”), guaranteed by the Guarantors (the “2020 Guarantees”), to be offered by the Company and the Guarantors in exchange for a like principal amount of the Company’s issued and outstanding 5.250% Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Outstanding Notes”), and (ii) $2,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Exchange Notes,” and, together with the 2020 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) guaranteed by the Guarantors (the “2023 Guarantees,” and, together with the 2020 Guarantees, the “Guarantees”), to be offered by the Company and the Guarantors in exchange for a like principal amount of the Company’s issued and outstanding 5.750% Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Outstanding Notes,” and, together with the 2020 Outstanding Notes, the “Outstanding Notes”).  This opinion letter is provided at the request of the Company pursuant to the requirements of Item 21(a) of Form S-4 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K of the Commission.

 

The 2020 Exchange Notes and the related 2020 Guarantees are to be issued under the existing indenture, dated as of February 23, 2015, as supplemented to date (the “2020 Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  The 2023 Exchange Notes and the related 2023 Guarantees are to be issued under the existing indenture, dated as of February 23, 2015, as supplemented to date (the “2023 Indenture” and, together with the 2020 Indenture, the “Indentures”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee.

 

In our capacity as your counsel in the connection referred to above and as a basis for the opinions herein expressed, we have examined (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Indentures, (iii) certificates of public officials and of representatives of the Company and the Guarantors, and (iv) such corporate proceedings, records, and documents as we have considered necessary for the purposes of this opinion letter.
