Construction crews are doing the necessary dirt work on the site, which is on the west side of North 15th Street between 20th and 24th avenues north. Some structural steel and other building materials have already been delivered to the site.

It will be the second DG Market store in the city. The first one, at 1149 Third Ave. N.W., opened about a month ago.

The store now under construction will be the company’s third in the city. That total includes the Dollar General store at 1810 First Ave. S.

According to an announcement from the company, DG Market stores offer fresh meat, produce, refrigerated and frozen food, and dairy products. The produce items will include what the company describes as the top 20 produce items typically sold in grocery stores, including lettuce, tomatoes, onions, apples, bananas, strawberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lemons, limes and salad mixes.

The stores offer general merchandise as well.

The store under construction will have an address of 2210 N. 15th St. The company is projecting a summer opening, pending any construction delays.

It will employ 10 to 15 people.

Dollar General, based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, has had a store in Fort Dodge since 1993. It was once located at 2736 First Ave. S., north of Aldi. In 2018, the current Dollar General store opened at 1810 First Ave. S.
