About 60 cities and towns have pushed back on dollar store openings over the last several years.
Cities that have attempted to curtail dollar store openings range from a small town in Georgia to major metro areas like Kansas City.
Some of the efforts have been successful, not only keeping chains like Dollar General and Dollar Tree away but also clearing the way for retailers that communities want.
Last year, Dollar General opened its first store in Montana, giving the chain at least one store in each of the 48 contiguous states.
Do you work for Dollar General, Dollar Tree, or Family Dollar and have a story idea to share?
