Stop the build of Dollar General

Please help our community stop the build of Dollar General in our small home town. Dollar General is trying to place a store at the end of Pine Hall Rd across from White's grocery. The placement of this store will put a family owned and operated business out of business. White's Grocery has been at its location for over 40 years. We as a community need to help our local business grow not harm them. White's Grocery has provided the small town of Belews Creek with convenience and southern hospitality.
In regards to the location Dollar General is trying to place a store there is a heavy flow of traffic. Where Pine Hall Rd and NC Hwy 65 meet has already been four tractor and trailer accidents. Can you imagine what it would be like if Dollar General was to place a store in this location? It would raise the risk of traffic accidents and put the great people who travel NC Hwy 65 on a daily basis at risk for their well-being.
To conclude our petition we would like you to know there are already fourteen Dollar General in a twelve mile radius of the location they are trying to build. In our small town you have to go to one of the three neighboring towns to buy groceries which all have Dollar general. So our question to you is what purpose does a Dollar General serve to our small town? Please help us keep out small town safe from big business like Dollar General.
