Dollar Tree coming to former CVS in Arlandria

A long vacant Arlandria convenience store just landed Dollar Tree as a new tenant.

The former CVS at 3811 Mount Vernon Avenue did not renew its lease more than a decade ago, and the 11,300-square-foot property has been vacant ever since. Over the last several weeks, contractors have erected the Dollar Tree sign on the building and installed store fixtures.

The Finmarc Management, Inc. property is located in the Del Ray North Shopping Center, which has struggled with occupancy for the last several years.

A contractor on the project told us he expects to finish the interior renovation within the next few weeks, although could not offer any information on when the store will open.

There are more than 15,000 Dollar Tree locations throughout the country. The Chesapeake-based company did not return calls for comment.
