Dollar General

In the first quarter of this fiscal year, the company is closing 46 stores and 45 pOpshelf stores and converting an additional six pOpshelf stores to Dollar General stores.

Dollar General is expanding the Dolly Parton Kitchen and Housewares Collection for spring 2025.

The facility in North Little Rock supports the distribution of the company’s traditional supply chain, its DG Fresh network that provides perishable products to stores and the DG Private Fleet.

Steve Deckard is now executive vice president of strategy and development, Tracey Herrmann becomes executive vice president of store operations.

For Q1 2025, DG plans to add approximately 100 new private brand products, more than half of which will be under the Clover Valley name.

Tom Hutchins joined the company as senior vice president of technology, while Kevin Pinchon joined as senior vice president of distribution.

To celebrate the grand opening, DG provided $10,000 to Aurora Public Schools and Food Bank of the Rockies.

Beyond tuition reimbursement and assistance, the company provides access to flexible development programs.
