Dollar General sells food.

Maybe you can start a restaurant in the vacated building – unless this is an “as well” rather than an “instead of” — lots of parking space.

“Who on earth thinks we need ANOTHER DG anywhere in Escambia county, Florida or Alabama?? ”

The REAL question is: Is it even POSSIBLE to have enough Dollar General stores???

Scatter three or four around Bluff Springs while you’re at it.

Between DG and FD, there are8 between Atmore and Flomaton/century. That is not including Brewton ,Jay& Molino.. Why not refurbish the existing buildings into some business that is not overflowing in the area? There is the Burger king building that could reopen as some other fast food , or reopen as what it was. I thought it done good business. Don't know why it closed. Whataburger's prices are rediculous.. Probably bc there is little competition besides McDs and Hardee's over in Flomaton.. And the old Panhandle station at the corner of hwy 4 and 29.? Turn it into SOMETHING.! We do not need another convience store or gas station, but surely it could be opened as something.. Maybe an Arcade or pool and darts club for kids or something that is needed for the youth in the area that need an outlet before they get any worse than they are .. Give the kids something to do besides steal and kill.! Geez people.. Come on!! Who on earth thinks we need ANOTHER DG anywhere in Escambia county, Florida or Alabama??

The current DG and FD ALWAYS have boxes blocking aisles and it makes it difficult to maneuver.

Seldom have to go to the grocery this will be awesome. Make up for the tax increase in Flomaton and take advantage of people looking to save 11% on tax. It will pay for itself and Flomaton will know that the people in town will look elsewhere when they raise sales tax without a thought about the people in the community Good choice.

And if they say traffic or surrounding areas will boost sales, they are lying. All surrounding towns, Jay, Flomaton, Brewton, Atmore, Molino have their own dollar stores. They will not come to Century to shop at a dollar store. We need to bring in alot of unique businesses. Take for example the gas stations in Century. Fifteen years ago there were 5 fully functional gas stations and 1 convenience store. Now we have 3 gas stations, 1 convenience store that use to sell gas and one convenience store that will be a restaurant soon and one fairly good size empty station that's been closed for almost ten years. I hope they invite the public for comment. I will be there! I'm not against growth but we need to be smart about it. Need to look how this will benefit us down the road instead of the right now!
