Dollar General has marked a major milestone as the discount retailer celebrated the grand opening of its first store in Montana. With the addition of the Columbia Falls location, Dollar General now serves all 48 continental U.S. states.

“Today marks an exciting milestone in our history as we extend our ability to provide customers with convenient and affordable access to household essentials throughout all 48 continental states,” said Steve Deckard, Dollar General’s executive vice president of growth and emerging markets. “As America’s general store, we believe each new Dollar General represents positive economic impact, local job opportunities, community donations and literacy grant opportunities through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.”
