FORMER DOLLAR GENERAL MANAGER DISPELS RUMORS ABOUT STORE CLOSING



Hello. I just wanted to clarify you Dollar General post. I am the store manager that resigned. I gave a 2 month notice so this wouldn't happen. I resigned because I am opening my own business. Not for any other reason. When my staff found out I was leaving, they said they weren't going to stay if I was leaving. The store will re-open on Saturday 6/5 at 8am. That is when the new store manager starts. Just thought I would give you the truth. All of the rumors are very inaccurate.

Yes, it's true:

The bridge on Mill Street is closed (for another day or so).

Yes, it's true:

The main lot at River Park has become a forbidden zone, 
unless your vehicle has a trailer.

And Parking Enforcement is watching.

And ticketing.
(What are the rules regarding vehicles with handicapped tags?)

And could this be considered a trailer?
