St. James Plaindealer
Dollar General recently completed a purchase of the former Shopko building on First Avenue South, and construction has started for the new Dollar General location.
The new store is approximately 9,800 square feet and will employ 6-10 employees. Our customers are at the center of all that we do, and meeting customers’ needs is Dollar General’s top priority when choosing store locations, said Angela Petkovic with Dollar General public relations. In selecting store sites, we take a number of factors into consideration, carefully evaluating each potential new store location to ensure we can continue to meet our customers’ price, value, and selection needs. We further strive to provide convenience for customers who may not have affordable nearby retail options.

A newly built Dollar General just opened at 1301 Broadway in Gary s Midtown neighborhood, right next to a Family Dollar.
It s hardly the only spot in Northwest Indiana where dollar stores are crowded on top of each other. There s a half-mile stretch in Whiting with a Dollar General, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree all within a brisk walk of each other.
Dollar stores have been cropping up across Northwest Indiana in recent years, often planting roots in otherwise retail-starved cities and offering at least a limited selection of groceries in neighborhoods that have been deemed food deserts. Dollar store chains have been expanding in underserved rural and urban neighborhoods where other national retailers often fear to tread. Dollar General, for instance, took over a storefront Walgreens abandoned at 801 S. Lake St. in Gary a few years ago.
Parks Township is getting its first Dollar General discount store.
Kelly Shotts, project manager with Harchuck Construction in Washington Township said the new store, located at 1014 East 2nd Street, is expected to open the first week in May.
Washington Township-based Harchuck is developing the site on behalf of Dollar General Corp.
The store is expected to hire six to ten employees, said Dollar General spokesperson Angela Petkovic.
Job seekers may apply at the company website.
In an email Petkovic wrote she expects the store to open this spring, but did not provide a date.
Construction began last December on the 9,100 square-feet building made of American-made pre-engineered metal.
