Default Family Dollar-Meredith

New store coming to Meredith! What's happening at the former bowling alley? It is getting reconstructed into a Family Dollar www.familydollar.com. It should do very well in that spot and will probably be a very good fit for the local economy. For example, a large boater size, maybe 13 ounce size of vasoline cost 2.25 at Family Dollar-Plymouth which is less than Wal-Mart (2.84), CVS (4.29), or Rite Aid (3.99 w/ 50% off for a 2nd container) and Family Dollar sells things like 1 1/2" angle paint brushes with big heavy wood handles for 1.95.

A new store opening in Meredith that has a very good opportunity to be a long time success, year-round business in that super-terrific new retail location for years and years. While the nearby vacant retail store between the Rite Aid and Olympic Sports over at the over-priced Hannaford mini mall remains vacant since November, 2008, the former bowling alley building should soon be home to a happening business, your FAMILY DOLLAR!

Family Dollar is not a dollar store where everything sells for one dollar. Prices are mostly in the UNDER TEN DOLLAR range and probably go up to twenty or so but most items are consumer, everyday items for low prices like for a dollar or two or three or something like 79-cents or something.

FDO on the NY stock exchange with a market capitalization of 6.4 billion dollars so it's a very "for real" business. It has over 6800 different stores in 44 states plus Washington DC and was first started back in 1959 by a 21-year old in Charlotte, North Carolina. http://corporate.familydollar.com/pages/history.aspx
