New DG Market opens in Davenport
Dollar General has opened a new DG Market at 1777 North Division St. in Davenport, the former site of a CVS Pharmacy.
The store features an expanded selection of fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, as well as the same categories, brands and products customers trust Dollar General to carry, according to a company release Monday.
“We are excited to provide Davenport residents with our new DG Market format and look forward to welcoming customers to our new location,” said Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development. “At Dollar General, we are committed to serving our customers with a pleasant shopping experience and strive to be a good corporate citizen.
“The new DG Market format will provide the Davenport community with closer access to fresh and healthier foods and a convenient location to purchase the items they want and need at everyday low prices,” he said in Monday’s release. “We hope our customers will enjoy the new store.”
To commemorate the opening of DG’s new location, Dollar General plans to donate 100 new books to a nearby elementary school to benefit students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade, the company said.
DG stores are proud to provide area residents with an affordable and convenient store location to purchase household essentials including food, cleaning supplies, paper products, over-the-counter medicines, hygiene products, baby items and more. In addition to the national and private branded products customers trust Dollar General to carry, the new Davenport location includes the company’s new stylish, on-trend home décor and an expanded party preparation selection.
Dollar General plans to create new jobs in the Davenport community as the store is expected to employ approximately 10-15 people, depending on the individual needs of the store, the release said.
Individuals interested in joining the DG team may review available positions and apply online at www.dollargeneral.com/careers. The company provides employees with competitive wages, world-class and award-winning training and development programs and benefits including day-one telemedicine eligibility as well as health insurance coverage options, 401K savings and retirement plans, tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave and adoption assistance to eligible employees.
Furthermore, DG strives to be a good neighbor and is committed to the communities it proudly calls home, evidenced by unwavering support of literacy and education initiatives through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, the company said.
The addition of the Davenport store opens the opportunity for schools, nonprofit organizations and libraries within a 15-mile radius of the store to apply for Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants. Since its inception in 1993, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $238 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping more than 19.6 million people take their first steps toward literacy or continued education.
