Dollar General looking for new suppliers

Goodlettsville, Tenn.-based Dollar General is encouraging new suppliers and those that have not sold products to the company within the past 18 months to apply to attend its first inaugural Innovation and Supplier Diversity Summit in April.

Dollar General said the event aims to pair potential new vendors with respective Dollar General buyers and category managers. 

“Having the right products to best meet our customers’ needs is a foundational cornerstone at Dollar General,” said Jason Reiser, Dollar General’s executive vice president and chief merchandising officer. “As such, we look forward to meeting with potential new vendors, learning about relevant products for our customers and expanding the number of unique and specialized offerings available in our stores.”

To apply, interested suppliers, companies and manufacturers may submit their product information at www.rangeme.com/dollargeneral from Jan. 30 through Feb. 20.  Selected companies will be subject to a $500 participation fee and notified via email by Efficient Collaborative Retail Marketing (ECRM) of the time, date and location of their meeting with a member of the Dollar General merchandising team.
