Fergus Falls Dollar Tree Reopens After Weeks Closed by Frozen Pipes

The Dollar Tree store at Westridge Mall, 2001 W. Lincoln Ave. in Fergus Falls reopened to the public on March 4, 2026 after a closure that lasted several weeks. Storefront doors that had been shut were unlocked and the interior was accessible to shoppers on reopening day, restoring access to the Westridge Mall location.

Residents and shoppers first encountered a handwritten note on the front door when the store closed, and that note identified frozen water pipes as the immediate cause of the shutdown. The handwritten message, left at the Westridge Mall entrance, remained the clearest on-site explanation while the store was closed to customers.

The Fergus Falls location is a staple discount retailer in the community, and its reopening at 2001 W. Lincoln Ave. ended a multiweek interruption of services at that site. The closure at the Westridge Mall outlet removed a local retail option for the weeks prior to March 4, and the reopening returned that specific retail footprint to the mall’s retail mix.

On March 4 the store reopened to customers at the same Westridge Mall address, resuming operations that had been halted by the frozen-pipe issue. The reopening restored in-person access at the Fergus Falls Dollar Tree, allowing shoppers to again enter the Westridge Mall storefront after the closure period.

The incident at the Fergus Falls Dollar Tree underscores how winter-related plumbing failures can disrupt retail operations at the Westridge Mall location, 2001 W. Lincoln Ave. The store’s reopening on March 4 ended the visible closure that had been marked by the handwritten door notice, and the Westridge Mall outlet is back open to serve customers in Fergus Falls.
