Dollar World will be in the Paul Blazer Plaza near Zanziâs Pizza, owner Ray Duckett said.
Like many dollar stores, Duckett said his store will carry a wide array of products: kitchenware, baby items, automotive products, party supplies, dry and canned food, cleaning products, candles and more. He said every item is only one dollar.
âThis will be the only everything-is-a-dollar store in the city of Ashland,â Duckett said, noting there are similar stores in the county and in Russell in Greenup County.
Duckettâs business partner is his sister, Laken Duckett. Duckett said he moved to the Ashland area in 2004 and his family followed him in 2008. The family might be familiar to some because of Laken Duckettâs son, Jordan Duckett, who died in August 2019 from an asthma attack during football practice in in Pittsburghâs Windgap neighborhood. He was 13.
