ironically someone mention a dollar store (type) in the renovated building in Wildewood.
They may have been mistaken, but who knows.
FWIW, for those who long for a specific type of business, while I feel your pain, Bird Dog and awpitt make a good point.
We live in a capitalist society in the US. It's not the government's responsibility to bring the business you want to your community
It's up to the investors to decide where they will open shop.
They typically do that based on the market, they try to meet what they see as the demand.
If there are not enough people to patronize a business it doesn't make since to open - it is a "for profit" world.
Just consider this, liars figure and figures lie. When the businesses that are opening are fast food, discount stores etc., you can bet that the number of people willing to spent extra money for higher end goods and services are not sufficient.
In English, don't believe the "per capita" income touted by the government, they are put there to attract business and it appears business isn't believing them.
