St. Martins residents will soon have a new, convenient place to get low-priced items.

Located at 6820 Business 50 West, a new Dollar General is slated to open in fall 2020, corporate spokesperson Angela Petkovic said.

The store will employ six to 10 employees, Petkovic said.

Another Dollar General is located less than 3 miles from the location, near Apache Flats.

"In selecting store sites, we take a number of factors into consideration, carefully evaluating each potential new store location to ensure we can continue to meet our customers' price, value and selection needs," Petkovic said in an emailed statement. "We further strive to provide convenience for customers who may not have affordable nearby retail options.

Less than a year ago, Dollar General built a new store in Wardsville.
