“I was in your store one day with my son and he started to feel sick. Jadon, a part-time DG sales associate working that day, made us feel so comfortable and cared about, and I will never forget that. Since that time, we’ve been back to the store every week or so and every time I see Jadon, he greets us and always has a cheerful personality. He’s always willing to help us and is truly one-of-a-kind!” – Kathie F., Signal Mountain, TN customer   Jadon joined DG in 2021 and just celebrated his first year serving as Store Manager. Thank you, Jadon, for exhibiting our mission of #ServingOthers!

In rural southeast Georgia lies Screven, a Wayne County community with approximately 800 residents who previously had to drive outside their community to access affordable fresh foods. On Saturday, DG celebrated our new DG Market grand opening with our Screven neighbors and numerous elected officials. As we extend our mission of #ServingOthers by providing fresh produce, meats and additional household essentials, we also provided Screven Elementary School with new books and a donation for the upcoming school year. “This is going to change this community, and we want to thank Dollar General for more investment in our community. This will change people’s lives,” said U.S. Representative Buddy Carter. Read more on how DG is Here for What Matters: www.hereforwhatmatters.com
