Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar a while back and closed a bunch of Family Dollar stores.
Dollar General sometimes locates new stores in some pretty odd out-of-the-way places.
They built a nice big brand new store with a large parking lot a few miles from here on a little two lane state road, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and the nearest little town (more of small grouping of houses with a few churches) 4 - 5 miles away in the opposite direction. The only plus to the location I can see is it's close to on / off access to a interstate hwy.
