SOAP LAKE — Construction along state Route 28, next to Sigrist Mini Storage, is confirmed to be the location of a new Dollar General store.
Emma Hall, public relations coordinator for Dollar General, said the store opening is slated for this spring, but that date may change as needed during the construction process. The address of the store will be 79 state Route 28 W., Soap Lake.
Hall said the location is a great fit for Dollar General. She explained the company looks for places where it can offer customers an easy and convenient shopping choice. She also said the company takes into account demographic trends, competitive factors and traffic patterns.
The Soap Lake store will employ six to 10 employees, depending on the needs of the store, Hall said.
Applications are being accepted to fill the jobs and anyone interested can apply at www.dollargeneral.com/careers.
“Dollar General is deeply involved in the communities it serves and is an ardent supporter of literacy and education through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, which awards grants each year to nonprofit organizations, schools and libraries within a 15-mile radius of a Dollar General store or distribution center to support adult, family, summer and youth literacy programs,” Hall said.
Dollar General is a store with a wide array of items from food, cleaning supplies, health and beauty products and even some basic clothing items and is not to be confused with Dollar Tree. Everything at Dollar General is usually priced in whole dollar amounts starting at $1.
