SIDNEY, NE — Dollar General is close to coming back to Sidney. 

According to Dollar General spokesperson Katie Ellison, the company is in the due diligence phase for a new location on Illinois Street. 

Ellison said based on the current timeline, the company is anticipating breaking ground on the new spot in the coming weeks. A store opening is slated for the Fall, but could change based on construction progress. 

Ellison said the store would employe 6-10 people, depending on the individual needs of the store. 

Dollar General used to have a location on Silverberg Drive in Sidney, but that store closed.
