The Village of Lyons saw a good amount of people congregating at their newest store this past week.
The new Dollar General Market store finally opened its door to the delight of many residents. The store opening took place on Thursday, September 12th after being pushed back a few times following delays.
The store is much like Delta’s newest Market store, with the two being very comparable in size and offerings.
This size was thanks to a land purchase that used to feature an Anderson’s Grain Elevator right next to downtown. Following the purchase, the bins (which were no longer being used) were torn down to make way for the new store.
The store features 12,000 square feet of space and will offer fresh produce and meats to its customers.
The store manager explained that she had worked for Dollar General for five years now and that this store is very different from most other Dollar Generals.
Besides the addition of the size, produce and meats, she explained that there will be a much larger variety of seasonal items, food, and prepackaged baked goods.
As for the produce and meats, staples like bananas, potatoes, peppers, salad bowls, chicken breast, turkey breast, and ground beef will all be available.
Some items were still unavailable at the time of the store’s opening but should be coming in stock within the coming days of the store’s opening.
