‘ Grand Opening Coming Soon ‘
As everyone awaits the opening day, hearsay starts to make its approach. Some say August, I have even heard as soon as July, and as late as September. This new store sits where some may remember Best Way Grocery to be.
As a small child I can remember the hanging basket that hung over the dairy section. I would always reach for them as the buggy rolled by. Some times mom would reach into the hanging basket and give me one. Some may remember them cracker sticks in the packages with the dip cheese. One of my many memories of the store.
As new memories make their way for more small children, maybe reaching for that toy that they have put in reach from the buggy. May the memories keep pouring into this little town. ” It’s a new day in Fort Gay.”

Nowhere else in America can you find 3 dollar stores in a 2 mile stretch.
Yea you can. Kermit has 1 and Warfield has 2. That 3 in just a few miles.
How many remember it being Franks Market? This was before it was Bestway.
I don’t remember it cause I wasn’t born yet but that was my grandfather who owned it
No where else in America would there be so much excitement over a dollar store.
No where else would you find so many sour @$$ people. Any breath of new life in this little town should bring excitement. Finally, there are people interested in seeing something happen in their hometown besides drugs and beer joints.
Amen
Dollar stores, fast food, gas stations, tobacco stores, Walmart, most of those workers are on government assistance. No good paying jobs, roads suck, but at least we got a $30 million courthouse. Everyone is overweight and broke, look around. Same ol local politicians and the few rich folks running the crap show in the ground. Louisa is a joke of a city.
Amen
I for one am very excited for the opening of the Dollar General Store in our little hometown! Never know, other businesses may come as well!
Making Fort Gay Great Again, one step at a time!
Mayor Hatfield
I don’t think Fortgay was ever great nor has Louisa 😂 but I’d start by tearing down that car wash and bridge mart I mean that’s one of the first things people see when they come into Fortgay and the only thing I remember about Best Way is it always smelled Like a fresh turd got cookies from there one time and the cookies had maggots in them
Amen
I’m really excited to see the opening of the dollar store. Its about time our little town gets something like this. Hoping to see other businesses open up . Keep up the great work Joetta Hatfield you’ve done so much for the town of Fort Gay … Proud to have you as mayor..
Prichard Dollar General has been a success. We are thankful for it. Saves us a lot of trips to Kenova and Louisa. I know citizens of Ft. Gay will enjoy theirs.
I can’t wait until the new dollar store opens and hopefully fort gay will consider taking where bridge mart use to be and putting a Walmart super center in and yes this is good for our home town.you make it what you want this is Our home town people it needs to be built up
I am super excited to have this new store in Fort Gay. I hope everyone will support it and that Fort Gay will continue to grow.
I look forward to the opening of the Dollar General Store. My hope is that it will be a big success. We can only hope that it will help bring other business to Fort Gay. Since Mayor Hatfield was elected we have someone who will fight for us. She has inspired people to help clean up Fort Gay as well as highlight the Fort Gay Locks and have the Fort Gay High School Building designated as a historical building. She gets things done and puts her self out there along with the workers. A positive attitude goes a long way to productive deeds.
That poor dollar store will get robbed so much, hope they have a state of the art security system, tiger mart has taken a beating over the years.
Thank you Mrs. Pauley for making this happen for our town.
