New DG Market Opens in Rome

Dollar General has opened a new DG Market at 3433 Kingston Highway in Rome. The store format features an expanded selection of fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, as well as the same categories, brands and products Dollar Generals carry.

“We are excited to provide Rome residents with our new DG Market format and look forward to welcoming customers to our new location,” said Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development.

The company’s home decor line and an expanded party preparation section also are part of the DG Market offerings.

To commemorate the opening, Dollar General plans to donate 100 new books to a nearby elementary school, the company said in a release.

The store is expected to employ approximately 10 to 15 people in jobs that could include health insurance coverage options, 401K savings and retirement plans, tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave and adoption assistance. Applications are being taken online at DollarGeneral.com/careers.

Also, schools, nonprofit organizations and libraries within a 15-mile radius of the store can apply for Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants. Visit DgLiteracy.com for more information about the program.
