Dollar General held a customer celebration at 1800 Ninth Street West in Columbia Falls (Flathead County), which included gift cards and complimentary product samples to customers alongside a $10,000 literacy donation to Ruder Elementary School.

Dollar General is currently under construction on stores in Lincoln and Sanders Counties, which are all currently expected to open in fall 2023. The company plans to evaluate additional areas in the Treasure State for future locations.

Each new Montana store creates new jobs and career growth opportunities for employees. Dollar General noted that it "provides 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." Interested candidates can review and apply for available positions here.
