Another store rumor

- South Rotan -

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has an Architectural Barriers Project Details page listed for Dollar General Store in Rotan, registration date 4/30/2024.

The site for the store is listed as 500 South McKinley. As best as I can figure, that would be catty-corner to the John Deere House (United Ag & Turf) as you're leaving town going south.

Fisher County Appraisal District has all that property on both sides of the highway, as well as McKinley, belonging to the Rivers and the Rotan Gin.

I don't know if it's real or like that alcohol license application that was posted in the newspaper for Family Dollar last November. That, of course, never came to pass. Maybe they just do a big group licensing packet and don't even look at the addresses. 

June 10 is listed as the start date. There is no activity at this time. October 10, 2024 is the projected finish date.

The estimated cost is $850,000 for a 12,480 square foot building.
