YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - A place where many West Side natives grew up enjoying their summers will be the site of a new discount variety store in Youngstown. 

A Dollar Tree is under construction at the previous site of the Mahoning Avenue Dairy Queen.  

The 10,000 square foot space scheduled to open in August will bring 12 to 15 part-time jobs, according to Dollar Tree spokesperson Shelly Davis. 

With a trademark "Everything's $1", Dollar Tree says it sells goods for the household, pantry supplies, party, office, school, toys, health and beauty aids.

The Dairy Queen franchise went out of business at the  location about five years ago.

The building was most recently operated as an ice cream and hamburger restaurant.

Dollar Tree operates 5,454 stores in 48 states and Canada, and is in the process of merging with Family Dollar.
