At Thursday's Marion Planning Commission meeting, city Planning and Zoning Coordinator Terri Hart told commissioners during a discussion on city developments that Dollar General is considering property along South Main Street that lies within the city limits. The meeting discussion in no way confirms the location of a potential new Dollar General outlet or even that one will be placed in Marion.
"We are currently in a due diligence phase for a new store on South Main Street in Marion, which means we’re interested in adding a store to Crittenden County, but have not committed to doing so quite yet," Crystal Ghassemi, public relations director at Dollar General Corp., told The Crittenden Press today. "Based on our current timeline, we anticipate a final decision to be made in the coming months."
