Family Dollar Store, 829 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY, has renovated the store and will re-open at 8amCT on Thursday, August 30, 2018 with a grand re-opening event at 8amCT on Saturday, September 1, 2018.



The Columbia store is one of 8,000 stores nationwide in 46 states. It is headquartered in Matthews, NC and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dollar Tree, Inc. of Chesapeake, VA, according to the press release for the grand re-opening of the 829 Jamestown Street Store.

A new 8,000 square foot Dollar Tree store, the first Dollar Tree ever in Columbia, is now under construction in the Pinewood Shopping Center, next to Columbia's Black Stallion Restaurant.

Both stores will be facing increased competition from Dollar General stores, which has yet another store under construction in Columbia, at the intersection of Jamestown Street and the Columbia Bypass/Industrial Drive intersection.

Dollar General Store, with origins in Scottsville, KY, was the earliest player in the market segment, and the first Adair County, where, at one time in the 1950's it appeared as a department in Delmer Upchurch's Russell & Company.

Not much later, there was as a stand-alone Dollar General store operated by Delmer Upchurch's son Donald.

The chain had an imposing presence on the Square later, in the Russell Building, where the first corporate owned Dollar General Store was located.

Family Dollar opened in the same shopping center as the re-modeled store to reopen on Thursday.

Soon Dollar Tree, now the parent company of Family Dollar, will open it's first store in Adair County, in the Pinewood Shopping Center, with an 8,000 s.f. new building being built at a rapid pace near the Black Stallion Restaurant.
