A supply chain disruption in the shipment of a commercial grade electrical transformer is pushing back the opening of the new Family Dollar/Dollar Tree store in Garnett. Steve Rollins, with American Realty and Development, the division of Guffey Properties which is constructing the property to be leased to Family Dollar, says it would be at least the third or fourth Thursday in February before opening. Until then, Rollins says, crews will be limited to using generators to complete interior finish work, hopefully starting Monday. When the interior work is completed, he says crews with Family Dollar would be configuring the store’s interior for the move in and set up of merchandise.
The dual store concept that merges the traditional Family Dollar and Dollar Tree retailers was specifically designed for population centers around 3,000-4,000 with both grocery and general retail offerings.
