CopyThe City of Rolla issued a building permit last week for a $400,000 construction project.
The permit was issued to the Family Dollar Store, a company based in Alabama.
According to the permit, the size of the building is to be 90x102, and be located west of the FSA office. Construction is set to begin this month.
The first Family Dollar store was opened in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1959. It was a relatively small, self-service operation located in a neighborhood convenient to low and middle income consumers. The merchandise assortment featured basic goods for family and horrte needs. The no frills, low overhead, cash-and-carry environment provided good value at the lowest price points. As the company opened more stores, it became clear that this merchandising concept filled a niche in flie marketplace and held great promise for supporting a chain of much larger size. In 2000, annual sales exceeded $3 billion and in 2001, the Family Dollar was added to the S&P 500 Index.
