One of the nation's largest franchise stores, Dollar General, will open in Otego in the summer of 2014.

Construction is well under way on Rt. 7 near the I-88 exit to Otego.  The franchise now operates nearly 11,000 stores nationwide.  The company usually opens a small department store in areas not hosting a Wal-Mart.  Although the word "dollar" is in the store's name, most items are priced at more than $1.00.  The store has been in operation since 1939.
