WALLACE — Super Dollar, a long-time discount store in the shopping center where Food Lion is located in Wallace, is closing.
Tonya McCovery, manager of the store, told Duplin Journal there has not been a final date set yet, but the closure will likely happen after selling as much of the remaining inventory as possible.
Originally known as Super 10 and located in downtown Wallace, the store changed its name when it moved to the current location in 2000. The store is part of a company based in Henderson. known as Variety Wholesalers.
McCovery said when the company announced the closure of the Wallace Super Dollar, they did not provide a reason for closing the store. She said the company simply said it was a “corporate decision.”
In addition to McCovery, the store has another full-time employee and two part-time employees who have the possibility of staying with the company. “They’re giving us the option of going to another store,” McCovery said. Francena Williams, an assistant manager of the store, began working there in 2004. She said the closest other company location is a 30-to-45-minute drive away. The news is sad for regular shoppers of Super Dollar, like Joanna Robison of Wallace. “I’m going to miss it. It’s close to me,” Robison said. “The cashiers here are really friendly.”
