A major milestone has occurred for Dollar General (DG) as the retailer recently announced the opening of its 20,000th store in Alice, Texas.
“Today marks an incredible milestone in Dollar General’s history,” says Steve Deckard, Executive Vice President of Store Operations and Development. “From our first general store to today’s 20,000th store opening, our mission to serve others and help customers stretch their budget remains strong. We believe each store provides a positive impact in our hometowns through convenient access to affordable essentials, career growth opportunities for employees, and the ability for local nonprofits, schools, and libraries to advance through Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants. On behalf of the DG leadership team, I would like to share my gratitude to the entire DG family for its ongoing commitment to our customers and communities in helping us reach this milestone.”
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, senior leaders and vendors attended and shoppers were allowed to try samples from numerous suppliers.
According to a press release, the retailer now employs more than 17,500 Texas employees through its store, distribution center, and private fleet presence in the state.
Backed by this growing portfolio of stores and its dedication to providing affordable options to shoppers, we can’t help but wonder how Dollar General will continue to expand its presence across the States.
