That looks like a Dollar General with a limited assortment of produce and meat products, not a Dollar General Market.
I agree that it looks that way.
Even though it isn't branded with the Dollar General Market sign, all 41 of the converted Walmart Express stores will have a large frozen and dairy section and 40 of the stores will have a fuel center, which is new for Dollar General.
I'll post a full review with pictures when the one in Gray Court, SC opens on October 7.
I have changed my mind completely about what grocery store may be put there. While the site is currently in the ghetto, it is absolutely ripe for revitalization and urban renewal. The site is less than a mile from I-26. Tourists and transplants are oblivious to the crime in North Charleston.

This project will be one to watch.
I would like to see the city of North Charleston come forward with a master plan for revitalizing Rivers Avenue, then incorporating ideas from that plan into the redevelopment of the Shipwatch Square site.
I feel like I'm more apt to trust the person with grocery in their username rather than someone who believes every single new store will be a Harris Teeter (and asks about Bass Pro Shop once a frigging month). The Dollar General Market sounds interesting but I wonder if a walmart neighborhood market is the obvious choice.

I would not mind seeing a Walmart Neighborhood Market supermarket on the Shipwatch Square site. The supermarket could serve the trade area with the necessities of food, pharmacy, and fuel.
If Rivers Avenue would undergo a significant redevelopment where an exponential increase in residents with disposable income occurred, I could see Harris Teeter and Publix as grocery options.
Hm I thought the Pig was long gone except for a few independent stores. Doing a google search, apparently that is not the case. Yeah the subsidies may raise eyebrows, but the store will be successful I think. The area needs food badly, plus Pig is already a well known, locally-loved name. It'll cater more to that demographic than a Harris Teeter or Publix would (hypothetically).
Any new Piggly Wiggly store opening will not be part of the now-defunct Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company. At 30,000 square feet, I would have pursued Publix over Piggly Wiggly.
