Shinglehouse's DG Market

                                                                 

    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.

The Now Former Shinglehouse Dollar General

 

    While Dollar General is everywhere nowadays, that wasn't always the case. This particular location we are about to look at is from the days when DG was a lot more selective about where they opened. Over time, it shoehorned some frozen food refrigerators into the store when DG expanded into that category. DG also replaced the exterior signs replacements and then finally did a full blown remodel in 2019. With the exception of socks and underwear, that mentioned remodel actually eliminated the clothing aisle this location had offered in favor of more frozen food product. This location would close in early 2024 in favor of a newly built DG Market nearby- which we'll take a look at next month. 

Always appreciated the overhang this location offered.

Frozen Foods was a later addition that was put into the store's front corner.

Old style of checkout

At the time these photos were taken, remodeling work was still underway hence the boxes and empty shelves
