Proposed Building of the Dollar General Store at 6715 Fairplay Rd Somerset, CA 95684
Permit Number 0337520 County of El Dorado
Dear Neighbors, Friends, Family and Fellow Residents of Somerset, Mt Aukum, Omo Ranch & Fairplay and all our surrounding neighbors…
A little did you know.. Dollar General's start up is only $250,000. It recoups this investment in under 2 years. It targets rural communities of less than 20, 000 people and Low INCOME areas. They target areas known as "food deserts" where residents do not have ready access to food stores. Many states have policies that prevent Dollar General from opening within a mile of an established store. The target audience buys small quantity house brands that actually cost more than going to town to buy in greater bulk. Their marketing demographic is low income, seniors and millennials and those with just a few dollars in their pocket. There are now more Dollar General Stores than McDonalds in the US.
Not here and not for us.
