PopShelf—Opening later this year
We’ve seen some activity in Beaver Creek Commons where AC Moore once was. Recently, the leasing company announced that they are dividing that space into two separate stores. One side is still available for lease and the other side will be PopShelf—Dollar General’s new “upscale” concept. A press release for another location described it this way: “This new store aims to engage customers with a fun, affordable and stress-free shopping experience where they can find on-trend seasonal and home décor, health and beauty must-haves, home cleaning supplies, party goods, entertaining needs and much more—with approximately 95 percent of items priced at $5 or less.” Learn more about PopShelf at https://www.popshelf.com/.

Open seven days a week, they offer $3 mochas on Mondays, name-your-price drip coffee on Tuesdays, and different pop-up vendors every Saturday.
