Construction is underway for Maine’s sixth Dollar General Store, at a still-in-the-works, 9,100-square-foot building in the Penobscot County town of Enfield. It is expected to open in early September.
“It’s nothing but a plus. I think it will draw more people to town,” Nels Kramer, a member of the Enfield Planning Board, told the Bangor Daily News. “We have lost two convenience stores in town recently and this helps [redress the loss]. I like shopping at dollar stores.”
The BDN reports that the Saco-based PM Construction Inc. began building the store at the Route 155-Route 2 intersection in late March. The commercial construction and construction management firm has already built 15 Dollar General stores in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire and is set to begin construction next month on two more in Maine — in Eddington and Pembrook — according to the BDN.
