Family Dollar to open new shop in Madison, Wisconsin
US-based discount variety store chain Family Dollar plans to open a new location in Madison, Wisconsin. The new store is located at a site along Old Point Avenue that once held Scott's Appliance store.
The latest retail shop, which will sell a mix of household items, seasonal products, food and apparel, is scheduled to open this summer.
Construction for the Family Dollar store has already begun. The shop will spread across 8,000ft² of retail space, according to onlinesentinel.com.
Family Dollar Stores public relations manager Josh Braverman said the company does not release the cost of building new stores. Its website, however, says a typical store built from the ground up can cost roughly $800,000.
In 2012, the company plans to open about 450 to 500 new stores and close 80 to 100. About 20 new stores are scheduled open between 2 February and 16 February.
The North Carolina-based discount chain has about 7,100 stores in 45 states of the US.
