Family Dollar Stores Inc. has made two executive changes in its merchandising ranks.
Paul White, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, has left the company, while former Walmart and Sam’s Club executive Jason Reiser has joined Family Dollar as senior vice president of merchandising.

Reiser comes from Sam’s Club, where he most recently served as merchandising vice president of health and family care. He started with Sam’s Club as a senior buyer in 2006 and, before that, was director of government relations and regulatory affairs at Walmart.
Reiser has 28 years of retail merchandising experience, and he is a registered pharmacist. Reporting to Reiser at Family Dollar are Rick Siliakus, vice president of hard lines, and Jim Trappani, vice president of health and beauty aids.
