Dollar General to build massive new distribution center

Dollar General is working out details to construct a $91 million distribution center in Orange County, N.Y.

 

The chain is eyeing the creation of a 750,000-square-foot distribution hub on a 100-acre site in the town of Florida, N.Y., the Albany Business Review reported.   

 

The building would supply merchandise to 1,000 stores in the Northeast, and could bring more than 500 jobs to the Albany, N.Y., region over the next five years, according to the report.   

 

A Dollar General spokesperson told Drug Store News the company is in "a due-diligence phase for such a facility."

 

Dollar General operates more than 13,000 stores nationwide.
