Dollar Tree finally acquired Family Tree this past June and it was reported at the time that Dollar Tree was planning to rebrand some of the existing Family Dollar stores.

Then in early July, it was announced that 330 Family Dollar stores would be sold off nationwide, but the Oakhurst location wasn’t among them.

Well now, a long-time DM reader reports in that employees at the Oakhurst location are saying that their store will be one of five Georgia Family Dollar stores to soon be rebranded as a Dollar Tree.

With the branding change it sounds like product selection will likely transform as well, as the Dollar Tree CEO noted to investors recently that Dollar Tree stores are more targeted towards “suburban consumers” than Family Dollar.

Patch’s Ralph Ellis is reporting this morning that a spokesman for Family Dollar says that the store will open in the old Big H plaza “mid-summer”.  The spokesman said that Decatur was picked as a location “because it looked like a good market”, according to Patch.

Christie sends in this pic of a cardboard sign in the window of the old Big H Center in Oakhurst that says “Echelberger Construction, 630 East Lake Dr, Family Dollar” next to a City of Decatur permit.  She also reported construction activity at the site today.

According to Decatur Planning Director Amanda Thompson, the owner of the Big H property, Bruce Cohen, has submitted plans to the city’s Planning Office for a Family Dollar at the Oakhurst site, but does not yet have a signed lease in place.

The much-discussed Dollar General in that location also went through the planning stages, but a lease was never signed.

Wondering where the heck “the Big H Property” is?  Here’s a streetview for ya.
