  • Dollar General Inside A Former Golden Corral??? Cincinnati, OH. In this video we take a look around this very unique Dollar General location. This was a former Golden Corral restaurant that had closed. After filming I found out that this location first became a Family Dollar before it became Dollar General. Pretty bizarre to see, honestly.

      One of the Kmarts in my area was torn down and a Super Target put in it's place, with a Best Buy and first a sporting good store then a Cox Communications customer service center next to it. Another was divided in half and became a Family Dollar and Big Lots, then Big Lots moved and Dirt Cheap moved in, then that closed so now that part of the building is vacant. Another one of our KMarts was turned into a Big Lots and another a large indoor flea market.

    Speaking of Dollar General, my uncle was the manager of one, but recently quit. The reason for this was because he was the only one working there, with only 2 other employees there. He ended up quitting for being overworked. He even occasionally worked double shifts. Just shows you how desperate the work force is nowadays.

    That area is full of repurposed buildings. Next to that Dollar General is a Burlington that used to be a Value City. It still looks like a Value City inside. Around the corner on Highland, there's a Floor & Decor that was a Walmart. The Walmart moved to a new building. Down the road on Ridge is an abandoned Kmart with a separate auto service building.

    In my area, Family Dollar stores are popping up everywhere. One popped up in a former Major Video store and another in a former Rite Aid Drug Store. I think it's interesting a Golden Corral was repurposed for first a Family Dollar then a Dollar General. The outside looks the same but they must have gutted in the inside because it doesn't look like a restaurant on the inside. It's better the building be put back into commerce than just sit empty. There's a Golden Corral in my area that closed a few years ago and the building is still there, still vacant last time I went by there. The restaurant moved to a location by an off ramp that was visible from the interstate and before the pandemic, it appeared to be doing well. I've never been and probably won't go. Thanks for another fun video.
