DEARBORN HEIGHTS, MI (12/7/10) – Mayor Dan Paletko and representatives of the Dearborn Heights Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) and Dearborn Heights Chamber of Commerce welcomed another new Family Dollar store at a ribbon cutting celebration organized by the Dearborn Heights TIFA on Thursday, December 2.
Mayor Paletko expressed the city’s appreciation for the Family Dollar corporation’s commitment to Dearborn Heights and wished them much success.
Family Dollar district manager Mark Thompson thanked the city and TIFA for all their help, noting that this is the fourth Dearborn Heights store in their district. “We are extremely happy with the support we’ve received from local residents,” he said. “The first day we opened, people were lined up waiting to get in.”
The grand opening is the latest of several new businesses in the TIFA District in the past year. “We have heard for a while that Family Dollar was looking to expand into our TIFA District,” said TIFA Administrator Carmine Oliverio. “When we heard that they were looking to fill a vacant storefront on Van Born Road, we immediately offered our services.”
After the brief ceremony, guests had an opportunity to tour the store and meet the management and employees.
Family Dollar is open seven days a week and is located at 25190 Van Born Road.
