Dollar General: Old Century Store Remaining Open Along With New Location
October 3, 2021
Yes, Century is now home to two Dollar Generals.
Now that a new Dollar General has opened in Century less than two miles from an aging store, many residents want to know if the old one will close.
We took that question to Dollar General’s corporate office.
“The other store on North Century Boulevard will be staying open,” Katie Ellison, senior manager Dollar General Corporation Public Relations, told NorthEscambia.com.
She said the new store will not replace the current Century Dollar General that’s just over a mile and a half away on North Century Boulevard near the state line, the Food Giant and a Family Dollar. The old Century Dollar General opened in July 2002 in a building that was constructed in 1970.
The new 9,291 square foot Dollar General in the 7000 block of North Century Boulevard in Century opened late last week.

for my part one is enough, two is too many.
The Company should look into CLEANING the old one. It is FILTHY!
Lots more room for “stuff”.
It works.
So…The old dollar general will not be closing at all? Two dollar general stores will be in Century. Not a bad idea since a lot of folks are walking these days.
