GOODL ETTSVI L L E , Tenn. — Dollar General is excited to announce it recently remodeled its store at 504 S Eagle St in Weimar. In addition to the same categories, brands and products customers trust Dollar General to carry, the store now provides customers with an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables.
“At Dollar General, we strive to be a positive business partner and good community neighbor in Weimar,” said Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development. “Although we are not a grocery store, we believe the addition of produce in our Weimar store highlights our commitment to deliver a pleasant shopping experience that includes affordable prices on quality products in a convenient location.”
While DG is not a grocer, the Company cares about and is invested in the health of its hometowns, currently offering fresh fruits and vegetables in more than 5,400 DG stores, giving the Company more individual points of produce distribution than any other U.S. mass retailer or grocer. Dollar General’s produce set offers the top 20 items typically sold in traditional grocery stores, which includes a curated assortment of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, apples, bananas, strawberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lemons, limes, salad mixes and more.
DG stores are proud to provide customers with affordable and convenient access to household essentials including components of a nutritious meal (canned and frozen vegetables, canned fruits, proteins, grains, dairy, and more), cleaning supplies, paper products, overthe- counter medicines, hygiene products, baby items and more through its mission of Serving Others.
DG strives to be a good neighbor and is committed to the communities it proudly calls home, evidenced by unwavering support of literacy and education initiatives through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. Schools, nonprofit organizations and libraries within a 15-mile radius of the store can apply for Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants. Since its inception in 1993, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $254 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping more than 21.8 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy or continued education.
