In response to all the concern about “opening the floodgates” by letting Dollar General into town, may I remind everyone that it’s already happening/has happened. We already have franchises in town, that I enjoy very much, thank you.
May I also inform the town that there is already a national mega-corporation here (that is widely assumed to be locally-owned by its employees) that is able to consistently outbid local contractors due to its size, therefor taking work from people who live here.
I think it’s hypocritical to be outraged about one thing and not the other.
The February 6 letter by Nancy Wasik brought up a very important point. Ultimately the community has the final say.
If you don’t shop there, it won’t be here.
I say bring on Dollar General!
