NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — The Dollar General on Smith Street in North Providence reopened Monday after it was destroyed in a fire last year.

North Providence police said that the fire was caused by two girls, ages 8 and 9.

“We look forward to welcoming customers to our new store and hope they will enjoy shopping at our new location,” said Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development.

To commemorate the reopening, Dollar General said that they will donate 100 books to a local elementary school.
