Dollar General is planning to open its first store in Montana in fall 2023, which will give the major retailer a presence in its 48th state and complete its continental US presence.
“Breaking ground on each new Dollar General is meaningful as it signifies upcoming affordable access to quality goods to customers, new jobs and career growth opportunities to employees, grant availability to local organizations improving residents’ education through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and tax revenue for municipalities,” said Steve Deckard, Dollar General’s executive vice president of growth and emerging markets.
Dollar General is currently under construction on two locations including Columbia Falls (Flathead County) and Eureka (Lincoln County) and plans to evaluate additional areas in the state to add locations and serve new customers. The company believes the addition of each new store represents positive economic impact in the communities it serves and takes several factors into consideration when opening new stores including how it can best serve its customers.
Dollar General’s expansion to Montana comes after the company’s recent first international store opening in Mexico and complements its fiscal 2023 real estate plans.
