Who Should Move into the old Dollar Express?

The storefront remains vacant after Dollar Express closed this December

Dollar Express on Main Street in Matawan closed its doors for good shortly after Christmas. 

Eileen Gendus, a Holmdel resident who owned the dollar store at 147 Main Street for two and a half years, decided to sell the store and pursue another retail venture further south.

Prior to the Dollar Express, another dollar store occupied the space for about five years, according to Gendus. Before that, Matawan Drugs was there. She told Patch that she hoped someone would open another dollar store in her location to ensure that products remained available at a low price for local shoppers. However, in mid-February the storefront still remains vacant.
