ELGIN â Elgin is joining the ranks of Eastern Oregon communities with a Dollar General.
Construction began this week along the Wallowa Lake Highway near the edge of the small town to build a new store covering more than 9,000 square feet. Response to the construction has been mixed. Some saw it as a boon to local business. A few locals saw it as a way to give residents access to a convenient way to stock up on cheap household goods without making a trip to La Grande. Others saw immediate issues with the construction.
âThe more stores, the better,â said Teresa Martin, owner of All For You Salon & More. âPeople donât stop for just one store on their way to Wallowa Lake. They have all those little stores because thereâs so many things to look at â if thereâs only one or two things you just keep driving.â
