Dollar General Planned for Blackwood, Black Horse Pike

Dollar General Planned for Blackwood, Black Horse Pike
Reading Time: 2 minutes

On October 23, 2018, developers will appear before the Gloucester Township Planning Board for approvals to move forward with the construction of a new Dollar General at the corner of Black Horse Pike and Fanelli Lane.   The exact address is 326 South Black Horse Pike.  The lot most recently housed an abandoned and dilapidated commercial building, and it sits adjacent to the Niagara Pools warehouse.  Directly across Fanelli Lane is the well know landmark of Saint Jude’s Church.

While this area of the Black Horse Pike has seem some “love” with a new Advocare Doctor’s office, and down the road a little the Sam’s Bar Shopping Center is in a long-term remodel, not to mention the still new Outlet Mall… overall this long stretch of South Black Horse Pike could use a boost in new development, and a newly constructed Dollar General is a step in the right direction.  Let’s hope the successful projects in this area are a catalyst for even more growth.

Speaking of the Sam’s Bar Shopping Center, the continue to make progress with the facade remodel and last I noticed it was closed in.  I have emailed the Center’s management company and they have not responded.  I’ve even chatted up the awesome family at Sam’s Bar.., and as of a few months ago it seemed even they weren’t clear on what was going on.
