Dollar General Store Closes Abruptly in Marion
Dollar General officials pulled out of Marion at 5 p.m. after telling manager Velma Kirby to lock the doors. Executives Marvin Perry and Mark Weston led the closing and moving of merchandise as rumors cited union wage disputes and lack of a contract. The East Union and North Madison Streets location, open since 1967, remains sealed and for sale or lease with no reopening plans.
