History
J.L. Turner and Son: 1939–1964
J.L. Turner and Son in 1939.
Dollar General has its origins in Scottsville, Kentucky from James Luther "J.L." Turner and his son Cal Turner. James Turner's father died in an accident in 1902 when James was only 11. James had to quit school and never completed his education so he could work the family farm and help provide for his mother and siblings. After two unsuccessful attempts at retailing, James became a traveling dry goods salesman for a Nashville wholesale grocer. James left the sales job after 10 years and settled his family in Scottsville, Kentucky. During the Great Depression, he began buying and liquidating bankrupt general stores. James' only child Cal Turner accompanied his father to these closeouts at a young age, gaining valuable business knowledge and skills.[8]
In October 1939, James and Cal opened J.L. Turner and Son with an initial investment of $5,000 each. The switch to retailing resulted in annual sales above $2 million by the early 1950s. By the mid-1950s Turner had 35 department stores in Kentucky and Tennessee. In 1955 Cal Turner developed his idea of a retail store selling goods for a dollar, based on the Dollar Days promotions held at other department stores, by converting Turner's Department Store in Springfield, Kentucky into the first Dollar General Store.[9] In 1964 J.L. Turner died leaving his son Cal Turner to succeed him.
1968–2002
The first Dollar General store was established in Springfield, Kentucky in 1955.
The company Cal Turner co-founded went public as Dollar General Corporation in 1968, posting annual sales of more than $40 million and net income in excess of $1.5 million. In 1977, Cal Turner, Jr., who joined the company in 1965 as the third generation Turner, succeeded his father as president of Dollar General. Cal Jr.[10] led the company until his retirement in 2002. Under his leadership, the company grew to more than 6,000 stores and $6 billion in sales. In 1997 a distribution center was established in South Boston, Virginia.[11]
In 2000 Dollar General opened a new corporate headquarters in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. By the end of 2000 sales at Dollar General exceeded $4 billion.[12] The distribution center in Homerville, Georgia was closed in April 2000 and operations were moved to a new distribution center in Alachua, Florida.[13]
Cal Jr. retired in 2002 and was succeeded by David Perdue on April 2, 2003.[14]
2003–Present
Dollar General entered the grocery market with the establishment of Dollar General Market in 2003.[15] In 2004 Dollar General expanded to low-cost Asian markets by opening a sourcing office in Hong Kong.[16]
On June 21, 2007 CEO David Perdue announced his resignation leaving David Bere as interim CEO.[17] One month later all shares of Dollar General stock were acquired by private equity investors for $22 per share. An investment group consisting of affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR), GS Capital Partners (an affiliate of Goldman Sachs), Citigroup Private Equity and other co-investors completed an acquisition of Dollar General Corporation for $6.9 billion.[18]
As a part of the transition to a privately held company, Dollar General assessed each location at the end of its lease against a model known as "EZ Stores". This assessment included evaluating whether the location had a loading dock, garbage dumpsters, adequate parking, and acceptable profitability. Stores that did not pass this evaluation were relocated or closed. Over 400 stores were closed as part of this initiative.[19]
Construction of a new Dollar General store in Lowndes County, Georgia in 2015.
Dollar General filed on August 20, 2009 for an initial public offering of up to $750 Million turning the company once again into a publicly traded corporation.[20][21] In 2013 Dollar General started selling cigarettes in response to its competitor Family Dollar selling cigarettes in 2012.[22][23] Dollar General's 12th distribution center opened on May 31, 2014 in Bethel, Pennsylvania to serve the northeast and midwest stores.[24] On August 18, 2014, Dollar General lodged a competing bid of $9.7 billion against Dollar Tree for Family Dollar. The bid was rejected on August 20, 2014 by the Family Dollar board, which said it would proceed with the deal with Dollar Tree.[25]
On June 3, 2015, Chief Operating Officer Todd Vasos replaced Rick Dreiling as chief executive. Dreiling remained as senior advisor and chairman until his retirement in January 2016.[26] Dollar General's 13th distribution center opened in San Antonio, Texas on June 6, 2016 with a local investment of $100 million and the creation of over 500 jobs.[27] In September 2015, the Janesville City Council, in Wisconsin, approved an agreement to bring a Dollar General distribution center to the town. The center created more than 500 jobs in the area and became the 14th Dollar General distribution center.[28]

On September 15, 2016, Dollar General announced plans to hire 10,000 new employees and open 900 new stores in fiscal 2016 and 1,000 in fiscal 2017. Dollar General had operated 13,000 stores as of August 2016.[29] Dollar Express and all of its 323 locations were acquired by Dollar General in April 2017.[30] In January 2017 Dollar General opened a concept store in Nashville called DGX. The DGX store concept focuses on urban shoppers and is geared toward instant consumption items such as a coffee station and a soda fountain. The following month another DGX store opened in Raleigh, North Carolina and in September a third DGX opened in Philadelphia.[31]
In Jackson, Georgia, Dollar General opened its 15th distribution center in fall 2017 to serve stores in Georgia and the surrounding states.[32] In 2017, Dollar General began construction for its 16th distribution center in Amsterdam, New York. The distribution center is to cost $91 million and is expected to create 400 jobs in Montgomery County, New York.[33] Dollar General plans to open 900 new stores in 2018.[34] Also in 2017, Dollar General acquired Dollar Express, a spinoff from the Family Dollar-Dollar Tree deal, and converted the store.[35]
A second distribution center will be established in Texas with a planned opening in 2019. The distribution center will be located in Longview, Texas and will bring 400 jobs to the area.[36] Dollar General opened its 15,000th store in Wilmington, North Carolina in July 2018. Dollar General hosted a community celebration and donated $15,000 to five local schools to support literacy and education initiatives.[37]

The DG symbol is used by the company for a variety of in-house products called DG Home,[44] DG Baby,[45] DG Health and DG Body.
