Dollar General Corp. DG will continue its consistent record of
positive job growth in 2013 with the creation of 6,000 new jobs, and the
planned addition of 635 new stores and 550 relocations. With the addition of
these jobs in 2013, Dollar General will have created approximately 30,000 jobs
in the last six years.
“Dollar General's continued growth reflects our customers' increasing
satisfaction with our everyday low prices and convenience,” said Rick
Dreiling, Dollar General's chairman and CEO. “Further, 2013 will mark another
growth milestone as we plan to open the organization's 11,000^th store before
the year's end when we will begin our 75^th anniversary in 2014.”
In order to generate a high caliber candidate pool, Dollar General also
participates in proactive hiring initiatives such as Paychecks for Patriots
that demonstrate the company's commitment to an employee base including
veterans. The Paychecks for Patriots program helps resolve the challenges of
unemployment facing veterans by equipping the military community with the
resources to better access available job opportunities at committed companies.
“Dollar General is a thriving organization looking to attract new employees
that embody our mission of ‘Serving Others,' which complements the company's
efforts to promote from within. We are excited to welcome new talent with a
passion for the retail business,” said Bob Ravener, executive vice president
and chief people officer.
