Family Dollar continues to treat our neighborhood like a landfill while they rake in profits from our community. I am documenting every single violation at these four locations and preparing a formal complaint for city enforcement. They think we will just roll over but they have no idea who they are dealing with.

The momentum behind this petition proves that our neighbors are done tolerating the filth Family Dollar forces us to deal with every single day. These corporate owners think they can ignore Eastern New Orleans while they rake in profits, but they are about to find out that we refuse to be treated like a dumping ground.

Today I asked for the manager to file a complaint about the trash can in front of the store that was over filled with trash.the cashier refused to call him and had a bad attitude when she found out what I wanted. The employees don’t care they are just there for a paycheck

The time is long overdue for Family Dollar, Dollar Store, Dollar Tree and other such retailers to be held accountable to the communities they "serve." Code Enforcement needs to begin fining these and other merchants in NO East for their shoddy and unkempt premises as disrespect for out community.

New Orleans East has too many Dollar stores and the conditions in and out of the stores are unexceptionable. These stores continue to hurt the image of our neighborhoods and bring down our property values

Reported the new store on Crowder Blvd and Lake Forest Blvd last week for trash surrounding the building. Due to the report going to the Zoning Office, grass cut and litter pick up on 5/29/2018. Still NO landscaping!

I've witnessed an employee sitting in the parking lot eating crawfish and threw the shells on the ground!! Needless to say in a couple days, yes they were still there,the smell was hideous. The door was broken that houses the dumpster and garbage strewn from the read side of the lot to the Rockton side

I spoke to the manager st thr FDS on Bullard regarding the trash outside the store and in the parking lot. He gave a lame excuse and called an employees to clean it up.
