TOTAL STORES | TOTAL STATES: 40
as of January 31, 2014
In 75 years, we’ve grown from a single wholesale store in
Scottsville, Kentucky to the country’s largest small-box
retailer. A passionate commitment to serving our customers,
employees and communities, as well as our shareholders,
is the foundation of our profitable growth. Our company
has been delivering convenience and value to shoppers
since 1939 when our founders opened J. L. Turner and
Son, Wholesale. The business soon evolved into a small
department store and, in 1955, the first Dollar General Store
opened in Springfield, Kentucky. Today, with over 11,000
Dollar General stores in 40 states from coast to coast, we
have more locations in the U.S. than any other retailer.
Our goal is to help shoppers Save time. Save money. Every
day®. Dollar General stores offer shoppers the products
they use and replenish most frequently, such as packaged
foods, snacks, pet supplies, health and beauty aids, paper
products, basic apparel, housewares and seasonal items.
Whether Dollar General is our customer’s first stop or a
regular fill-in shop, we know that having the items she is
depending on at prices that meet her budget requirements
is crucial to her success and ours. At Dollar General, our
customers can find quality nationally advertised brands
from America’s most trusted manufacturers, in addition to
our quality proprietary brands, at low everyday prices in our
convenient neighborhood locations.
For 75 years, we’ve been Serving Others by keeping our
business simple. Simple neighborhood stores. Simple,
frequently needed items. Everyday low prices. But, keeping
things simple, isn’t simple. It requires a great deal of forethought,
planning and commitment. It has been the secret to our
successful past and is the key to our successful future.
