The national chain of discount stores filed a permit with City of Atlanta Wednesday to develop land, at 500 Fairburn Road, where I-20 intersects I-285 on the West. Family Dollar is also in the process of building a new store from the ground up on Cascade Road.

To develop the land the discount retailer’s new 8,320-square-foot store (including parking) will be located, Family Dollar will spend an estimated $460,000, according to the permit.

A recent report from Market Watch says Family Dollar Stores Inc. plans to open 450 to 500 new stores in the current fiscal year. It will close up to 100 underperforming locations.

Family Dollar will spend between $550 million and $600 million this year to support the new store openings, according to the report.

Family Dollar was not immediately available for comment.
