FM Stone Real Estate Broker Scott Griffith brokered the sale of the retail building to Millco Acquisition Company LLC who in turn is leasing the building to Dollar Tree. Headquartered in Chesapeake, Va., Dollar Tree is a single-price-point retailer in North America, operating thousands of stores across 48 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces. The company offers a broad mix of merchandise and every item is only $1 (or less). The building is currently undergoing renovations in anticipation of a March 20, 2015, opening.

It had previously been on the market with several other local and national commercial real estate companies for several years. The building has been vacant since 2008. This is the second major retail development at the corner of Main and Lusher that FM Stone has assisted in.
