PETERSBURG And then, there were four.
Dollar General opened its fourth store in Petersburg Monday and its first in the downtown area. The Tennessee-based discount chain has set up shop on South Adams Street in the old IGA supermarket building. The addition of our new Petersburg store highlights our commitment to deliver a pleasant shopping experience that includes great prices on quality products in a convenient location, ”Dan Nieser, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development, said in a news release announcing the new store.
The downtown Petersburg store will offer the same lines of food and household products as the other three city stores. However, it is the first here to offer the company s new home-decor line, and its party-preparation section is supposed to be larger than the others.
