Two Discount Retail Stores Take Over Favorite Southwest Plaza Spot

 

San Angelo, TX — Exciting developments are underway in The Southwest Plaza shopping center as two new businesses, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree, prepare to open. Located off Knickerbocker, across from Shannon South Hospital, The Southwest Shopping Center has been a longstanding fixture in San Angelo, providing well-maintained rental properties for various businesses.

The Southwest Plaza is known for its diligent maintenance, remodel repairs, and overall upkeep, making it an attractive location for businesses. The addition of Family Dollar and Dollar Tree further enhances the shopping center's appeal.

Family Dollar is set to occupy the former Tuesday Morning building, as indicated by permits and inspection reports from the City of San Angelo. The opening date for the new Family Dollar store has not been officially announced, and there is currently no signage on the building.

The concept of combining Family Dollar and Dollar Tree under one roof has gained popularity, offering customers a comprehensive shopping experience. Dollar Tree Incorporated has studied the concept and declares that "This innovative approach, known as Combo Stores, brings together two well-known brands to cater to diverse needs. Dollar Tree is renowned for its offerings in seasonal, party, and crafting supplies, while Family Dollar focuses on meeting various household needs."

According to Dollar Tree Incorporated, the Combo Store model has proven successful in small, rural towns with limited retail options. Building on this success, the companies aim to expand the Combo Store concept beyond small towns, with approximately 810 Combo stores opened by the end of fiscal 2022, and plans to add hundreds more in the coming years, according to Dollar Tree Inc.

Historically, residents of small towns often had to travel long distances to fulfill their shopping needs. The Combo Store model addresses this challenge, providing a one-stop shop for a variety of products. Customers have responded positively to the Combo Stores, leading to impressive sales and margin performance.

As the Family Dollar and Dollar Tree Combo Store prepares to open in San Angelo's Southwest Plaza, residents can look forward to a convenient and diverse shopping experience. The addition of these two popular stores contributes to the continued vibrancy of The Southwest Shopping Center and reflects a commitment to meeting the needs of the local community.
