New Dollar General Market opens on Blair Road in Oliver Springs

Dollar General has announced the opening of its new DG Market at 1645 Blair Road in Oliver Springs.

The new DG Market store format features an expanded selection of fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, as well as the same categories, brands and products Dollar General carried by the other DG stores.

“We are excited to provide Oliver Springs residents with our new DG Market format and look forward to welcoming customers to our new location,” Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development, stated in a news release. “The new DG Market format will provide the Oliver Springs community with closer access to fresh and healthier foods and a convenient location to purchase the items they want and need at everyday low prices. We hope our customers will enjoy the new store.”

Dollar General plans to donate 100 new books to a nearby elementary school to commemorate the opening of the new store, the release stated.

The new Oliver Springs location includes the company’s "new stylish, on-trend home décor and an expanded party preparation selection," the release said. The store is expected to employ 10 to 15 people.

The addition of the Oliver Springs 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.
