Dollar General Opens New Colorado Distribution Center

Dollar General opened its new distribution center in Aurora, Colo., adding 400 new jobs and supporting the retailer’s growing DG Private Fleet presence.

“Today’s grand opening celebrations represent a milestone in Dollar General’s history in Colorado as our first distribution facility in the Centennial State, and we are excited to celebrate with our employees, their families, and community partners,” said Todd Vasos, Dollar General’s CEO. “The Aurora facility will not only create positive economic impact through new jobs and long-term career opportunities for employees, it will also further support our ability to better serve our stores and customers throughout the western United States.”

To extend Dollar General’s mission of serving others, the company provided $10,000 each to Aurora Public Schools to strengthen literacy and education initiatives and Food Bank of the Rockies to help address food insecurity and nourish neighbors in need.

The retailer opened its first store in the Centennial State in 2006 and has more than 950 employees throughout the state.
