The brand is planning to continue expanding its brick and mortar presence with 1,100 new stores set to open next year, including Dollar General’s first international location.
The company plans to open its first store in Idaho, which will expand its presence to 47 states and will also remodel 1,750 locations. Meanwhile, the brand also plans to open up to 10 stores in Mexico.
“The opportunity to expand our footprint to serve communities in Mexico marks an exciting new era for our organization and is a reflection of our continued innovative spirit and dedication to serving others,” said Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos.
The company has also announced plans to accelerate the opening of its upscale Popshelf stores. These concept stores target more affluent consumers who like shopping for good deals. To this end, the majority of items in Popshelf stores will be priced at $5 or less. The company has set a target of tripling the count of these locations by next year and will have 1,000 Popshelf locations by the end of 2025.
