The Dollar Tree is coming to Hanover Center.

The national discount chain, which has raised its prices in recent years from $1 to a range of $1.25 to $7, will occupy 11,000 square feet formerly leased by Pier 1 Imports.

Efforts to reach Dollar Tree representatives to find out when the store might open and other details were not successful this week. Dollar Tree signed a lease for the Hanover Center space in January.

Crews have been working on upfitting the space next to Books-A-Million at 3741 Oleander Drive. In addition to Books-A-Million, Hanover Center’s anchor tenants include a Harris Teeter grocery store, Homesense, Hobby Lobby and Office Depot.

The area’s oldest suburban shopping complex, Hanover Center has also been in the midst of a facade renovation.

Randy Kelley of Wrightsville Beach-based Harbour Retail Partners said minor items left on the renovation project are expected to wrap up next week. “We are going to plant the revised landscape planters in March,” he said.

Harbour Retail Partners owns Hanover Center in a joint venture with national real estate company ShopCore.

One previous longtime tenant at the center, K&W Cafeteria, closed permanently Dec. 31, citing in a sign on the door the lengthy renovations.

The owners had not yet secured a tenant for the space vacated by K&W as of this week, but were talking to some "exciting" potential tenants, Kelley said. Other spaces where new tenants are in progress are 14,000 square feet next to Homesense and an out-parcel building formerly occupied by a Talbot's clothing store.
