Project description: The site of a previous Solo-Mart at the corner of Division Street and National Avenue will be home to a new Dollar Tree store. It’ll be the sixth Dollar Tree store in Springfield with the closest being on North Kansas Expressway near the Interstate 44 intersection, according to the Chesapeake, Virginia-based company’s website. The retailer sells a variety of products including food, home items, toys and craft supplies.
Guest columnist Donnie Brawner says many entrepreneurs stray from their original business ventures, which is often a recipe for success.
