Dollar General Expanding Into Montana

Dollar General is planning to open its first store in Montana in fall 2023, which will give the retailer a presence in its 48th state and complete its continental U.S. presence.

The company is currently building two locations in Columbia Falls (Flathead County) and Eureka (Lincoln County) and plans to evaluate additional areas in the state for store growth. 

“Breaking ground on each new Dollar General is meaningful as it signifies upcoming affordable access to quality goods to customers, new jobs and career growth opportunities to employees, grant availability to local organizations improving residents’ education through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and tax revenue for municipalities,” said Steve Deckard, Dollar General’s executive vice president of growth and emerging markets. “We look forward to celebrating our first Montana grand opening in the coming months and to serve new customers, employees and communities soon.”

The company’s plans to provide career opportunities for Montanans through the creation of new jobs in Flathead and Lincoln County communities as the stores are expected to employ approximately six to 10 people, depending on the individual needs of the store.
