PAINT TWP., Pa. — Another Dollar General store is being constructed in Clarion County.

The store will be located along Route 322, west of the intersection of Route 322 and Route 66, across from Burford & Henry Real Estate Services, in Paint Township.

It will be an approximately 7,200 square foot building with additional acreage for 30 parking spaces.

Joseph and Kerry Kriebel with equitable owner Shippenville 322 DPP, LLC submitted the proposal. The project also received approval for modifications for a side yard setback. It received preliminary approval for land development from the Clarion County Planning Commission on August 16, 2017.

Mary Kathryn Colbert, Dollar General Public Relations Manager, told exploreClarion.com, “The store will employ approximately six to 10 employees, and the expected grand opening date is early summer 2018. A more precise grand opening date will be announced at a later time.”

Two new Dollar General stores have recently opened and a third one is under construction in Clarion County.

The Fryburg store, which opened within the last few months, is across from First United National Bank along Route 208 at its intersection with Route 157.

Along Route 322 at the site of the long-gone Clarion Motel in Strattanville sits another newly-opened Dollar General.

The Limestone Township Dollar General is under construction. Its location is along Route 66 across from Palmer’s Store on a lot once occupied by the Midway Drive-In.

“When choosing store locations, meeting customers’ needs is Dollar General’s top priority. The company looks for places where we can offer customers an easy and convenient shopping choice. We know convenience is a major factor in our customers’ shopping decisions as we generally serve customers within a three- to five-mile radius or 10-minute drive. We also take demographic trends, competitive factors, traffic patterns and community concerns into consideration,” explained Colbert.

Dollar General also has stores in Leeper, Rimersburg, Knox, and Clarion, next to Comet Market.
