Downtown shuffle: Dollar Tree finds a new home in Tops Plaza
NORWICH – The local Dollar Tree made an announcement that it will be moving in early 2012, creating a shuffle among some businesses in the central part of the city.
The Dollar Tree, currently located at 49 South Broad St., will be moving to 54 East Main St. – the Tops Plaza – in the coming months. The move is part of the company’s growth, according to Dollar Tree Spokesperson Chelle Davis. “Dollar Tree continues to grow,” she said in a press release late last week.
The future home of the Dollar Tree is currently occupied by GHS Federal Credit Union, which has been tailoring to its own expansion needs for the last few months. In October, the credit union announced plans to move after purchasing the former Byrne Dairy Building on East Main, giving them the opportunity of having a drive-through for the first time since establishing a location in the city. The company said it plans to have renovations completed by late December.
After GHS moves from Tops Plaza, the Dollar Tree will begin its own renovation process. According to Planning and Community Development Specialist Todd Dreyer, Dollar Tree submitted development plans to the city earlier this year. Their plan indicates the restructuring of the south end of the plaza, using the space that will be vacated by GHS and the retail spaces once occupied by Label Shopper and Little Caesar’s Pizza. According to Dollar Tree, the new location will cover 9,000 square feet.
“They’re going to have a lot more space than they do now,” said Mayor Joseph Maiurano. “It will allow them to have a lot more product in there too.”
Said Davis, “We are proud to be part of the Norwich community and are looking forward to our April 2012 grand opening.”
Last week, NBT Bank announced expansion plans that will utilize the entire building at 49 South Broad, including the current Dollar Tree location. According to NBT, the company’s substantial growth and the addition of staff led to the need for more office space.
“All these plans have been in the works for a while,” said Maiurano. “Everything had to go in its own time because of the lease agreements in different facilities.”
Though valuable commercial space in the city will be lost to office space for NBT, the mayor explained that the transition is not a loss for the area. “The good thing is we’re getting an expansion of a few companies that are providing more jobs ... There’s no doubt that that’s a good thing,” he said.
And in another shift downtown, Commerce Chenango has announced plans to move its Chamber operations from The Eaton Center to the Broad Street storefront most recently occupied by the Two Sisters Cafe.
