Dollar General in Altamont?…possibly

A Dollar General store located in Altamont is in the “due diligence phase,” according to Mary Kathryn Colbert, Dollar General Public Relations.
The company is currently in a due diligence phase for a new Dollar General in Altamont, that would be located off Highway 6, Colbert replied in an email answering an inquiry from this newspaper.
“This means we are reviewing the opportunity to add a new store in the area, but we have not committed to doing so just yet,” Colbert wrote. “Based on our current timeline, we anticipate to have a final decision on this by early 2021.”
Colbert added that Dollar General customers are at the center of all that the company does, and meeting customers’ needs is Dollar General’s top priority when choosing store locations. In selecting store sites, the company takes a number of factors into consideration, carefully evaluating each potential new store location to ensure customers’ price, value, and selection needs can be met.
Dollar General further strives to provide convenience for customers who may not have affordable nearby retail options.
As needed for opposition inquiries Dollar General also take competitive factors, traffic patterns and community concerns into consideration.
The store would employ approximately 6-10 employees, depending on the individual needs of the store, Colbert noted.
