By Sarah Shurge – The City of Wayne is always excited to welcome new businesses to the community. We’d like to shout out a few local businesses that have had ribbon cutting ceremonies recently.
Dollar Tree had a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday, February 9th.
“It was nice to have a lot of people in the city and the city’s leaders come and give their support and a welcoming hand,” said Denisha Yancy, Dollar Tree store manager.
Dollar Tree is a one-stop shop for any of your household or family needs. The shelves are stocked with food, drinks, cleaning supplies, beauty products, school supplies, balloons, party supplies, seasonal decorations for every holiday and occasion, and so much more.
“It’s somewhere you can find all of the things you need for home, for $1.25 to five dollars,” said Yancy. “We’ve got food, home decor, toys, garden stuff, everything under the sun.”
Dollar Tree is located at 2904 S Newburgh Rd and is open 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. Sunday.
