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.
