A new Dollar General is being built in
\nQueensbury and is tentatively scheduled to
\nopen in late summer 2015. The store will be at
\nthe corner of Newcomb and Main Street, across
\nfrom Apex Solar.<\/p>\n

Officials for the chain said the one-story store
\nwill be approximately 9,100 square feet, with
\napproximately 7,300 square feet of that as sales
\nfloor space.<\/p>\n

Dollar General, a bargain retail chain selling
\na range of household goods, groceries, beauty
\nproducts and more, is expanding throughout the
\nNortheast, hoping to give customers easy and
\nconvenient shopping choices.
\n“We know convenience is a major factor in our
\ncustomers’ shopping decisions as we generally
\nserve customers within a three-to-five mile radius,
\nor 10-minute drive,” said Crystal Ghassemi,
\na communications official for Dollar General,
\nwhich has corporate offices in Goodlettsville,
\nTenn.<\/p>\n

The company also takes demographic trends,
\ncompetitive factors, traffic patterns and community
\nconcerns into consideration when planning
\nnew locations.<\/p>\n

Six to 10 employees will be hired for the new
\nlocation. Applications will be available in early
\nsummer, Ghassemi said.<\/p>\n

Dollar General has more than 11,800 stores
\nin 43 states, mostly in small to mid-size communities.
\nGhassemi also noted that the Dollar General
\nLiteracy Foundation helps to support literacy and
\neducation in the communities it serves.<\/p>\n

The foundation awards approximately $12 million
\neach year to nonprofit organizations within a
\n20-mile radius of a Dollar General store to support
\nliteracy education. It also supports customers
\ninterested in continuing their literacy education.
\nAt the cash register of every Dollar General store,
\ncustomers can receive a free brochure with a
\npostage-paid reply card that can be mailed in for
\na referral to a local organization that offers free
\nliteracy services.<\/p>\n

Dollar General has stores in Hadley, Corinth,
\nSouth Glens Falls, Whitehall, Greenwich and
\nHudson Falls.<\/p>\n
