Dollar General opened its first store in Montana on Saturday. With the addition of this store in Columbia Falls, the discount retailer now serves all 48 continental U.S. states.
“Today marks an exciting milestone in our history as we extend our ability to provide customers with convenient and affordable access to household essentials throughout all 48 continental states,” said Steve Deckard, Dollar General’s EVP of growth and emerging markets, in a statement. “As America’s general store, we believe each new Dollar General represents positive economic impact, local job opportunities, community donations, and literacy grant opportunities through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.”
Dollar General offers low prices on household essentials like food, snacks, health and beauty products, cleaning supplies, clothing, houseware, seasonal items, and more at its over 19,000 stores across the U.S. The company stocks a variety of national and private-label brands.
Dollar General is building two Montana stores in Lincoln and Sanders Counties which are expected to open this year. It plans to expand to additional areas in the state.
