Just when you thought that the area was saturated with Dollar General stores, the Goodlettsville, Tennessee.-based “small-box retailer” has confirmed it will open its ninth Tallapoosa County store later this summer in Jacksons Gap.

The new store will be located on the eastbound side of U.S. Highway 280, midway between the city limit of Alexander City and Peckerwood Road.
