Leave it to DG to build a store in the middle of nowhere. Like along a four lane, limited access highway. Across the street from gas wells and a cell phone tower, and then completed surrounded by a corn field. Those memes do come true.Seriously, this is a stretch of US Route 22 that is basically void a much in this area. Once outside of Ebensburg or Blairsville it is usually sparsely populated with houses, but mostly with farmland. I understand the model that DG is going for, but this is just an oddly placed store with nothing else around it.Needless to say, getting here can be quite the chore and it hurts my head to just think about it. Coming west you need to make a left turn across two highway lanes of traffic, same for exiting. Coming east you have to hope you are not going to be tailgated and have enough room to slow down to make the turn. I see a problem here in the future.Outside is your typical setup for the store, lot is big enough to allow for a constant flow in traffic. Inside is also your typical setup with narrow aisles and shelves packed full of product.I do not recall seeing any carts in the way while I looked over the shelves. Most items were well stocked. The line at the register moved steadily.
