PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ AND SIGN MY PETITION TO HELP OUR GROWING COMMUNITY RECEIVE A MUCH NEEDED GROCERY STORE! WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT EXPANDING TO ACCOMMODATE A HIGH SCHOOL, I FORESEE MORE THROUGH TRAFFIC AND VISITORS FOR ACADEMIC EVENTS AND SPORTS.  IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE THIS HANDY WHEN YOU'RE DROPPING OFF OR PICKING UP YOUR CHILD FROM SCHOOL AND YOU CAN STOP HERE FOR QUICK SHOPPING WITHOUT THE CONVENIENCE STORE PRICING! YOU LIVE IN WESTHOFF OR SMILEY AND YOUR CHILD CALLS BECAUSE THEY FORGOT TO TELL YOU THEY NEEDED SOMETHING FOR SCHOOL EVEN THOUGH THEY KNEW FOR A WEEK!   NOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN TO CUERO, YORKTOWN, OR NIXON BEFORE HEADING TO THE SCHOOL!
I TRULY FEEL THIS IS BENEFICIAL FOR SO MANY REASONS INCLUDING: CAREER OPPORTUNITIES, ADDED TAX REVENUE, AND POTENTIAL TO APPLY FOR GRANTS FROM THE DOLLAR GENERAL LITERACY FOUNDATION!! https://www.dgliteracy.org/grant-programs/
I'LL ALSO HAVE PAPER PETITIONS AT THE WESTHOFF AND SMILEY POST OFFICES! THANK YOU!

We, the undersigned residents, parents, and community members of Westhoff, Texas, formally request that Dollar General establish a new DG Market at the corner of FM 240 and US Highway 87. Our community is growing rapidly, yet we are currently a severe food desert, requiring a 15-mile journey to the nearest grocery store for fresh produce, meat, and daily essentials.
Why This Site is Mutually Beneficial
Ideal Shovel-Ready Site: The targeted 1.58-acre parcel (Property Owner: First National Investment Properties Inc., Garden Grove, CA) is vacant, non-agricultural land perfectly sized for a standard DG Market footprint and delivery truck access.
Immediate Capture Market: A local population of 500+ growing residents will immediately shift their daily shopping to this convenient location.
High School Traffic Surge: A brand-new regional high school opens at this location for the 2026–2027 school year (Grades 9–11) and expands to full capacity for the 2027–2028 school year (Grade 12), bringing hundreds of students, staff, and parents through this exact intersection daily.
By signing below, we pledge our enthusiastic, immediate, and long-term shopping support for a Westhoff DG Market.
