Dollar General announces it recently remodeled its store at 31934 Highway 8 E in Gore Springs and now offers produce in addition to the same categories, brands and products customers trust Dollar General to carry.
“At Dollar General, we strive to be a positive business partner and good community neighbor in Gore Springs," Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development, said. “Although we are not a grocery store, we believe the addition of produce in our Gore Springs store highlights our commitment to deliver a pleasant shopping experience that includes affordable prices on quality products in a convenient location.”
Dollar General’s produce set offers the top 20 items typically sold in traditional grocery stores and covers approximately 80 percent of produce categories most grocery stores carry. It will include fresh fruits and vegetables including, tomatoes, onions, apples, strawberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lemons, limes, salad mixes, and more. The store will also continue to offer frozen and refrigerated food offerings, in addition to the same categories, brands and products that customers trust Dollar General to carry.
Dollar General currently offers fresh fruits and vegetables in more than 4,400 stores and plans to offer produce in more than 10,000 total stores in the coming years, with a meaningful number in current USDA-defined food deserts. Additionally, in January 2024, Dollar General expects to offer fresh fruits and vegetables in approximately 5,000 stores, giving the Company more individual points of produce distribution than any other U.S. mass retailer or grocer.
