Rumley welcomed everyone and related the history of the site. Goff, who grew up on Sand Mountain, spoke to how important it is to have a store in the community, and thanked Dollar General.
“This is a special day here on Sand Mountain,” Rumley said. “The community and [Commissioner] Phillip Hartline worked on this for a long time to find a place to put this store here on the mountain.

“We want to thank Dollar General for coming to this part. We’re just a stone’s throw from Alabama. This will be welcomed to all the people in this area. This is a dear place to me. This is my old stomping grounds,” Goff said.
