Goodlettsville, Tenn. — The major discount retailer will begin construction on stores in Maine and Rhode Island this fall with plans to expand into Oregon in early 2015.
Goodlettsville, Tenn. — Dollar General plans to expand its nationwide presence into three new states within the next year, increasing the company’s presence to 43 states across the country. The major discount retailer will begin construction on stores in Maine and Rhode Island this fall with plans to expand into Oregon in early 2015.
“It’s exciting to announce plans to add stores in three new states, which will give Dollar General locations in all Northeastern states and a presence in the Pacific Northwest,” says Rick Dreiling, Dollar General’s chairman and CEO.
The expansion announcement coincides with Dollar General’s 75th anniversary in 2014.
Expansion into Maine and Rhode Island follows the company’s successful expansion into neighboring Northeastern states in recent years. New stores in Oregon will increase the company’s visibility on the West Coast after opening stores in California in 2012, including the company’s 10,000th store in Merced, Calif.
Stores in Maine and Rhode Island will be served by the Bethel, Pa., distribution center that celebrated its grand opening last week, and Oregon stores plan to be served by the Lebec, Calif., distribution center that opened in April 2012.
With more than 11,000 stores in 40 states, Dollar General has more retail locations than any retailer in America. For more information, visit www.dollargeneral.com.
