Historical March 1989 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
A new Family Dollar Store will open in the 5900 block of Delmar in April, 1989.
The newly constructed, free standing building is being built by the Ben F. Blanton Construction Company, general contractor.
The store will have parking around the store and in the front of the building. Family Dollar stores carry moderately priced basic merchandise for the family and home. Their lines are hardware, housewares, health and beauty supplies, auto and paint.
They also carry clothing and shoes for the whole family. Family Dollar is based near Charlotte, North Carolina.
They were organized in 1959, and are now publicly owned and traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
There are 1,500 Family Dollar stores in 27 states, with approximately 15 in Missouri.
The manager for this new store will be assigned from another Family Dollar store.
There will be an assistant manager, 2 to 3 full time clerks, 2 to 3 part time clerks, and a stock clerk.
Many of these employees will be hired locally.
There will be ads in local newspapers about two weeks before opening that will give hiring information.
The Times of Skinker DeBaliviere welcomes the Family Dollar Store to our neighborhood, and wishes them all success.
