A discount store appears to be working on a new location in Lawrenceville.
dd’s DISCOUNTS is planned for 2160 Riverside Parkway, according to a building permit application with Gwinnett County. The 15,467-square-foot store would be located at the River Exchange Shopping Center between the Samurai Blue restaurant and a tae kwon do studio.
dd’s DISCOUNTS, part of Ross Stores, Inc., first opened in 2004. The brand offers “amazing deals on the hottest fashions and quality home merchandise,” with most stores located in neighborhood shopping centers for convenience.
There are more than 350 dd’s DISCOUNTS stores in 22 states. Georgia has several, including in Atlanta’s West End and on Buford Highway.
Earlier this year, Gregg McGillis, executive vice president of property development for Ross Stores, Inc., expressed confidence that dd’s DISCOUNTS could reach 700 locations due to consumers continuing to seek value and convenience.
The company recently posted a job opening for an assistant store manager for the upcoming Lawrenceville store.

Didi’s has had a store about a mile south on Buford hwy, in the Northeast Plaza shopping center. Presumably that store will be closed, or do they think the market can support that density? They might say yes. Both Northeast Plaza and Pinetree have Dollar Tree stores and the customer base should be similar.
It’s more like 5 miles. I expect they’ll keep both. Northeast Plaza location does plenty of business. If anything, these locations together would cannibalize the customers of the Plaza Fiesta Ross location more so than each other.
