A Family Dollar store is moving into 13602 Laurel Bowie Rd, according to a permit taped to the window. That new storefront was created several months ago when Super Grand Mart finished the expansion of the north end of its building, which was begun years ago by the Giant Food formerly at that location. According to workers on site, the Family Dollar store intended to open in August 2011.
