As promised last month, we will now tour the newly built Dollar General Market in Shinglehouse. Being a proper supermarket, DG Market does indeed offer meats, produce and a wider variety of food products. They even expanded their HBA offerings to include cosmetics. From my observations, it appears that every department (except maybe homegoods) appears to of have their offerings expanded.

| Seeing a cart corral at a Dollar General is something I didn't expect. |

| The store opened without any exterior signage up, but did receive it later.

 |
| Produce offerings were a little barebones at first, but I assume that to be caused by just opening up. |

| A look at the now former DG. They pretty much left everything behind. |
Why isnt DG converting more of their locations to this format? Would make way more sense in areas that don't have an actual grocery stores for miles around...
ReplyDeleteSpace may be a concern. A lot of older locations may not have the needed square footage. This location is around 12,000 sq. ft.
DeleteI do know that some regular DG stores have started to carry produce.
