New Dollar General Store to hold Grand Opening in Young Harris

Shoppers in Young Harris will have a new place to shop for basic consumable merchandise at everyday low prices when Dollar General opens its new store at 1374 US Highway 76. The grand opening is scheduled to begin Saturday, March 8 at 9 a.m., and continue through March 9. The new 8,249- square-foot store employs approximately six to ten people.

The new Dollar General features a fresh layout, designed to make shopping easier and simpler for customers. Some of the store's new features include a permanent treasure hunt section, seasonal products featured in the center of the store, easily recognizable departments with visible signage and greater convenience to the coolers located at the front of the store.

Dollar General stores offer convenience and value to customers, by providing a focused selection of national brands and private brands of food, housewares, seasonal items, cleaning supplies, basic apparel and health and beauty care products. About a third of the merchandise in Dollar General is sold for just $1 or less.

Dollar General gives its customers more than everyday low prices on basic merchandise they need every day. A longtime supporter of literacy, Dollar General takes a grassroots approach to supporting this cause. All Dollar General stores serve as a place where anyone can find out where to learn to read; where to take General Education Diploma (GED) classes and the GED test; or where to learn to speak and/or write English. In-store brochures feature a perforated reply card, pre-addressed and pre-stamped to ProLiteracy America. Upon receiving the cards, the organization distributes the referrals to the appropriate adult education office in each state, making sure the right service is provided for each person's particular need.
