Construction is nearly finished at the new Dollar General Store in Cheswick, with the store “slated to open within the next week,” a Dollar General spokesperson told TribLive.
The discount shop will employ six to 10 people and will sell a variety of name-brand foods, health products and cleaning supplies.
The storefront, located at 1200 Pittsburgh St., once housed a Rite Aid pharmacy that closed last summer.
Now that construction at the site is wrapping up, the spokesperson said, Dollar General looks forward to providing convenient and affordable retail options to local customers.
“Our customers are at the center of all that we do, and meeting (their) needs is Dollar General’s top priority when choosing store locations,” the spokesperson said. “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.”
While continuing construction could delay the opening date, the spokesperson said residents should expect the new Dollar General to open for business next week.
