A pair of store signs jet out from the green roof of a shopping center on North Walnut Street in Muncie—one for the currently operating Family Dollar store and the other for the closed Marsh location. The former grocery hub has been untouched and unoccupied since 2017, and closures of its peer stores has opened the door for dollar store chains to capture the freed-up market share.
