Family Dollar-Meredith

Argie's Wife · 07-16-2011, 10:15 PM

FLL - Just a note of thanks for the tip about Family Dollar stores. We discovered the one in Rochester when we were shopping for birthday party decorations and favors for the oldest Arglet's party. He wanted a Harry Potter themed party and I was challenged to pull it off without breaking the bank.

I was able to fulfill his wish and then some for less than $30 for decorations, favors, and most of the food items other than the burgers and hot dogs, for 8 happy kiddos. The party was a big success - probably our best ever - and we kept the whole thing very affordable! Yea!

Thanks again for the tip!

According to a news article down at the bottom of the front page in the latest Meredith News, 75-cents printed edition; the Meredith Family Dollar should open on about August 25. Tried to make a working link, but it's a no-go, since the story does not show up at all in their freebie internet edition.

The new Family Dollar has to be the best new Meredith store to be opening in the last twenty years in Meredith. All the good stores: Tape Escape, Wardo's, Ben Franklin, www.Parafunalia.com, Heath's Hdwe Meredith, Heath's Super Meredith, and Widdershin's all either moved away or closed permanently. And what did Meredith get in their place; a Verizon Store, a Hannaford's, an Olympia Sports, a Rite Aid, and a 14000 sq ft Crosspoint storefront that's been vacant since constructed on Thanksgiving 2008. It deserves to be vacant forever! What the H happened here to all those good old stores? Meredith got Crosspointed!

Family Dollar will be a welcome addition what with their very high quality $2.50 paint brushes, chocolate covered raisins, personal care products like shampoo and toothpaste, and microwave frozen lasagna........plus there's NO cigarettes, NO lottery tickets, NO beer, NO cheap wine, NO newspapers, & No ready-to-drink cups of coffee.....budda-budda-budda-BOOM....here's come the Meredith Family Dollar.....August 25!

I am not sure what the future holds for Family Dollar but it has been a good investment for us. We sold in February. I suspect that they will do well in this economy.
