Encino Park, San Antonio, is under threat:
Dollar Tree is planning to open a new store in our beloved Encino Park neighborhood. This isn’t just another retail option, it’s a decision that could damage our local economy, hurt small businesses, and change the character of our community.

Why this matters: Dollar Tree is notorious for pushing out local grocery stores, lowering property values, creating traffic issues, and attracting crime. The presence of dollar stores chains has been associated with declines in nearby property values, with some reports indicating drops between 16% and 21%! This is not the type of development Encino Park needs or welcomes. Our community deserves businesses that invest locally, support working families, and help build a stronger, more resilient economy.

Take action now: Sign this petition to urge San Antonio city officials and planning authorities to reject the proposed Dollar Tree in Encino Park. Let’s protect the identity, health, and future of our neighborhood.
