Arnold Dollar General Store Development Update ~ By Andy Johnson

Arnold, CA ... More than 100 people filled "The Hub" and spilled out onto the deck to hear a presentation from Dan Cross Development, the company hired by Dollar General Store to site, plan and build a 9100 square foot building in Arnold, CA. The building site, a thickly forested, commercially zoned lot is on the south side of highway 4 east of the intersection with Lilac Drive. The developer said that the site is currently under contract to purchase. He also said that CalTrans ingress and egress traffic issues had been resolved. Revamped architectural elevations and site plan were presented. The plans are a departure from the recognizable standard Dollar General Stores. The developer said, "The goals is to be recognizable as a Dollar General Store, to be affordable to develop and to be acceptable to the residents. We included elements of the new Arnold Fire Station in the current reiteration."





Questions and comments from the people at the meeting included economic impact on existing local business, how many jobs would be created, traffic issues and light pollution. When asked if local contractors would be employed the developer said that they have general contractors they work with regularly who in turn hire sub-contractors on a "best value" basis. An hour before the 4 pm meeting the developer had met with the residents of the Lilac Drive neighborhood to address their individual concerns.

Dollar General Corporation is a U.S. chain of variety stores headquartered in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. As of January 2012, Dollar General operated over 10,000 stores in 40 U.S. states. Dollar General offers both name brand and generic merchandise including off-brand goods and closeouts of name-brand items Although it has the word "dollar" in the name, Dollar General is not a dollar store. Most of its products are priced at more than $1.00.
