Another discount store shutters in Citrus Heights

By Sara Beth Williams–
Another discount retailer has shuttered in Citrus Heights, coming on the heels of the mass closure of 99 Cents Only Stores.

Dollar n’ More, a discount store located at 7601 Sunrise Blvd. at the intersection of Old Auburn Road and Sunrise Boulevard, appears to be closed. A visit by Sentinel staff on Monday found the interior dark and vacant.

Adjacent businesses did not know when the store closed, and no sign was posted on the entrance indicating a date of closure. The store’s social media page has been inactive for over a year. The Sentinel reached out to the owners of the business but did not receive a response.

A nearby employee at Master Donuts said she didn’t know how long the store had been closed. Several employees at nearby businesses said they had heard a new tenant had already signed a lease for the location.

Phone calls to Rome Real Estate Group, which handles leasing for the shopping center, were not immediately returned on Saturday. Leasing information online shows the plaza is “fully leased.”

The closure of Dollar n’ More follows 99 Cents Only Stores shuttering its hundreds of locations throughout four states in April and May, including a location on Greenback Lane in Citrus Heights.

99 Cents Only Store CEO cited the impact of the pandemic, shifting consumer demand, and inflation as contributing factors.

Similarly, local news outlets announced Dollar Tree will be closing 600 of its Family Dollar store locations in 2024.

Dollar n’ More featured a range of merchandise, including cell phone accessories, food, kitchen, bathroom, garden, and seasonal and special occasion merchandise. The store previously opened at the end of 2022 in the plaza, with Safe Credit Union as its anchor.
