By Lori EhdeFamily Dollar will occupy the 11,200-square-foot building recently vacated by Luverne True Value and Country Store.Gary and Nate Golla finalized the sale of the building on June 16 to Minneapolis developer, Anxon Inc., which in turn is leasing it to Family Dollar."We tried a lot of different things for that building," Gary Golla said. "We talked to the city about a day care center; we talked to the county about a law enforcement center. We tried to get local businesses to subdivide it. But it was getting to the point where we had to do something, and these guys actually found us."Family Dollar will open on July 28, and merchandise will occupy 8,000 square feet of the building. It will be family and home items mostly priced at $10 or less.A store manager will soon be hired, and about two weeks prior to opening, seven or eight full- and part-time local employees will be interviewed on site.Golla said he’s pleased the building will be occupied, and he said moving True Value next to the Farm Store on the south Highway 75 location has been good for business."It’s been a good business decision," Golla said. "We’re extremely happy we’re able to keep the division of the Country Store that we moved to the new location."Those departments include paint, lawn and garden, pets and Just-Ask-Rental. "They’re continuing to do well," Golla said.Family Dollar, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., operates 5,700 stores in 44 states. There are 60 in Minnesota, with two in Sioux Falls and one in Worthington.
