Taos County Says No to Family Dollar

Not even if you give it a faux adobe facade.  Culture trumps convenience.

El Prado resident Manuel Trujillo worries giving Family Dollar a foothold would lead to bigger chain retailers moving in. Trujillo lives in a fourth-generation house in El Prado that’s more than 200 years old, and he doesn’t want the character of his neighborhood to shift toward box stores.

There is already a Walmart on Paseo del Pueblo Sur, so maybe the dollar stores will pop up there.
