Dollar General Inside A Former Golden Corral??? Cincinnati, OH

Dollar General Inside A Former Golden Corral??? Cincinnati, OH. In this video we take a look around this very unique Dollar General location. This was a former Golden Corral restaurant that had closed. After filming I found out that this location first became a Family Dollar before it became Dollar General. Pretty bizarre to see, honestly.

Respect for repurposing it into something useful and not just letting it sit there and rot.

[@raycannister7439]

This is what more Dollar General stores need...more personality. I’d much rather see an existing structure re-purposed instead of those bland new Dollar Generals that look exactly the same!

[@IamJay02]

Feels like I'm at home everytime I go to one lol

[@ryanravencaller]

In rhode island theres an old walgreens or rite aid that dollar general took over

[@chaddeez8446]

Now let's see the old Kmarts transform into Super Dollar General stores...lol

[@redstickham6394]

One of the Kmarts in my area was torn down and a Super Target put in it's place, with a Best Buy and first a sporting good store then a Cox Communications customer service center next to it. Another was divided in half and became a Family Dollar and Big Lots, then Big Lots moved and Dirt Cheap moved in, then that closed so now that part of the building is vacant. Another one of our KMarts was turned into a Big Lots and another a large indoor flea market.

too big

"If you say Dollar General three times with your eyes closed, one will pop up." Lmao that's the best thing I've heard all day.

[@realluser-smore-2519]

That is true because I've seen one dollar general half a mile from a dollar general lol they don't care where they build them because I have a more recent one crazy

[@redstickham6394]

Same way in my area, except it's Family Dollar popping up all over.

[@realluser-smore-2519]

@@redstickham6394 oop sounds like family dollar wants to be part of it to

[@kingjayprod]

They just bulit a doller genarl near my ingles market

[@luvjxnakajen]

That’s the craziest dollar general I’ve ever seen and inside has no remnants of a restaurant at all. Thanks for sharing!

[@jacobb2715]

I saw some Pepsi blue hehe

[@tinman6922]

Is great idea Dollar General better than having an abandoned building

[@theunowhoknocks]

Speaking of Dollar General, my uncle was the manager of one, but recently quit. The reason for this was because he was the only one working there, with only 2 other employees there. He ended up quitting for being overworked. He even occasionally worked double shifts. Just shows you how desperate the work force is nowadays.

[@animeshock2006]

Pre pandemic they operated like this to cut costs

[@LindaFromSeaAtTull]

It's always been like that at DG.

[@theunowhoknocks]

Yeah, true. I don't see why this happened because there were (and still are) lots of employees at the other Dollar Generals in the area.

[@MrMentalia]

mydad did the same man

[@northsidediva6465]

My ex-MIL worked as a store manager at Family Dollar. It was the same way there. A store manager, assistant manager, and 3 employees. That was it.

[@slackingpacking]

This Golden Corral is located in the Cincinnati Suburbs of Norwood and it closed in 2012. Definitely a weird reuse of a building.

[@joanna7350]

Golden Corral is gross.

[@redstickham6394]

We have one that closed here. It moved to a location visible from the interstate by an off ramp and before the pandemic, it looked like it was doing well. Did this one just close or did it move? Just curious.

[@nicoledavis8032]

I think it closed aug 2011 as well as the ones in fairlawn and media

[@OneMooreTime-ve7qq]

Why did it closed

[@saxman112]

Wow, can’t say I’ve ever seen a Golden Corral turned Dollar General before! That’s wild!

[@kenrutherford1109]

Me neither!

[@skyebird3933]

That is an odd store front. You poor guys...I want to see you and Kayla sit down and eat for once. Happy Birthday Kayla! 🎂

[@TheHobbyShopFilms]

Dollar stores are like the Gremlins, they get wet and multiply.

[@holliemorris8027]

It's funny how they can turn one building into something else. We have a Golden Corral close by they turned into a gym.

[@christiangonzales7429]

How ironic. Where is it located at? I'd like to see it.

[@kenrutherford1109]

In Hiram, Georgia, there's a beauty supply store that used to be a Ryan's

[@mikemcclune1440]

The location of the Dollar General in Vanport Township PA was once a Prizant's Carpet up until 2007 when they folded up

Wow! Great re-use of a building! But, I'm truly sad so many buffets are closing.

[@alanlough638]

Dollar General opening up in a closed Golden Corral?? That's really the craziest thing that I've ever seen before with Dollar General. Have a Dollar Generallicious Day!

[@shawnengle6801]

That area is full of repurposed buildings. Next to that Dollar General is a Burlington that used to be a Value City. It still looks like a Value City inside. Around the corner on Highland, there's a Floor & Decor that was a Walmart. The Walmart moved to a new building. Down the road on Ridge is an abandoned Kmart with a separate auto service building.

[@living4mylord]

Sounds like a former sears influenced Kmart.

My friend has a nickname for Golden Corral. He calls it the “Golden Colon”..

Golden Corral is the Golden Dump.

In gray court south carliona there’s a dollar general with a gas station. It’s in a old Walmart neighborhood market building

[@evanwilliams6406]

Very unusual Dollar General Store.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

2 new videos in one night!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

[@gmcnewlook]

I’ve seen Pizza Hut got repurposed into a eyeglass store , they kept the outside intact So you know what it was before but they sell glasses instead of pizza… kind of cool (Was passing through the area didn’t go in)

[@christiangonzales7429]

Where is it located at? I'd love to see it.

[@703am]

that is really an unusual dollar general,,, if i was looking for a dollar general , i probably would have drove right by it thinking it was a restaurant...

Interesting DG. Also, two videos in one day!Odd it’s in a Golden Corral. Huh. Happy Birthday Kayla!

Up here on the Detroit/Warren, Michigan border line on the 8 Mile Road and Van Dyke area, there 3 Dollar Stores competing with each other. They are: #1. Dollar General #2. Dollar Tree #3. Family Dollar Now, I have a name for Big Lots. Big Lots looks like a Dollar General with Furniture. Happy Birthday Kayla!

It was a great video, Wallie! It's a huge dollar store and arranged very nice! Happy belated birthday, Kayla!

Your opening said exactly what I was thinking when you showed this on Facebook. 😆

[@majic4492]

So a new Dollar General went up in Derry Pa, and one of the employees told me she heard that they want to have a location every 4 miles where possible

Looking for Treasure Hunt Hot Wheels, a man of taste I see... That dollar store is massive compared to the small ones in rural N.W. Pennsylvania. At least there is room between the isles to walk.

[@babtotheboneproductions]

Nice! Interesting to see that they turned a Golden Corral into a Dollar General. There’s a Dollar General in Loganville, Pennsylvania that used to be a TruValue hardware store.

I had gotten an brand new built from the ground up DG and old DG was next door to true value hardware ( used to been an old ALCO discount store in the 80s in that building) but an very interesting way of having an DG in an old Golden Corral!

Good video! What a differend kind of Dollar General! The one Golden Corral up here in WNY was made into a Pizza Place! Nice find on the Hot Wheels! I was able to get one, earlier this year! Congrats! Happy Birthday! Kayla!!

[@itsRileyFox]

I love how they just left all the bloopers in

[@mrnapolean1]

Harbor Freight did something similar in a Shopping mall in Cleburne, TX. They put their store inside the main mall entrance (you know where Benches and the fountains would be located at) yes there.

[@cincy9381]

That's pretty cool! I live in Cincinnati area but haven't seen that one yet. There's an old Bob Evans across the river in Newport, KY thats now a laundromat. Laundromax I belive it's called. Always funny to see that. Still the unique bob evans building. You can't mistake what it once was.

Really enjoy your videos my friend. I'm so glad you did the Rossi's flea market. I love it in a former movie theatre I have to go there it's on my bucket list now & so is the Amityville house. I know you CAN'T go on the property But i can always take a quick picture on the sidewalk in front of the house. 👍😉 oh yeah & please tell your girlfriend or wife ( I'm not sure which she is ) i really like her hair & i think she's Beautiful. !!!!☺👍👍👍👍👍 stay safe. Victor.

[@redstickham6394]

In my area, Family Dollar stores are popping up everywhere. One popped up in a former Major Video store and another in a former Rite Aid Drug Store. I think it's interesting a Golden Corral was repurposed for first a Family Dollar then a Dollar General. The outside looks the same but they must have gutted in the inside because it doesn't look like a restaurant on the inside. It's better the building be put back into commerce than just sit empty. There's a Golden Corral in my area that closed a few years ago and the building is still there, still vacant last time I went by there. The restaurant moved to a location by an off ramp that was visible from the interstate and before the pandemic, it appeared to be doing well. I've never been and probably won't go. Thanks for another fun video.

[@johnb.1750]

Why did they choose a fricking GOLDEN CORRAL to use as a DOLLAR STORE!?!? WHO CAME UP WITH THIS?!?!

[@pasadenacatpink]

The inside of this Dollar General looks massive! It starting to make Wal-Mart smaller.
