Dollar General purchases 41 former Walmart Express stores

Goodlettsville, Tenn.-based Dollar General said it purchased 41 former Walmart Express locations across 11 states. Dollar General anticipates relocating 40 existing Dollar General stores into the purchased sites by October and entering one new market as part of the purchase. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“Dollar General is excited to add these locations to our existing store base," said Todd Vasos, CEO, Dollar General. "We look forward to the opportunity to better serve our customers in these communities by continuing to provide the convenience and value they expect from Dollar General."

Communities served by the newly relocated stores will enjoy a fresh DG16 layout with additional sales floor square feet, complete with expanded offerings such as fresh meat and produce, all designed to make shopping easier for customers. Dollar General said it also intends to operate the fueling stations in 37 of these locations.
