Troy Dollar General grand opening event April 5

The new Dollar General store in Troy is open and will hold a grand opening ceremony Saturday morning.

The store, located at 1308 Twilight Lane, just off U.S. 2, plans to host a grand opening event at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 5. It will include $10 complimentary gift cards to the first 50 adult customers and DG tote bags to the first 200 customers.

“At Dollar General, we believe the addition of our new Troy store provides positive economic growth for the community through the creation of new jobs and career growth opportunities; increased accessibility to affordable products; the generation of tax revenue and access to Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants,” said Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development. “As part of our mission of Serving Others, we look forward to being a strong business partner and good neighbor, as well as welcoming customers to our new store.”

 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 approximately 6,500 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 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. The addition of the Troy store opens the opportunity for schools, nonprofit organizations and libraries within a 15-mile radius of the store to apply for Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants.
