Dollar General is committed to partnering with suppliers who support our efforts to provide relevant products to the diverse customers and communities we serve.
At Dollar General, we believe our business should reflect the diverse communities where our customers live and work. This comes to life through the employees we hire, the products we carry, and a diverse network of suppliers and service providers with whom we partner.
With approximately 75% of Americans living within five miles of a Dollar General store, we have stores conveniently located in small towns and communities across the country. While we aim to deliver a consistent shopping experience, each of our more than 19,000 stores reflects its local community and aim to provide affordable and convenient access to relevant products to meet that community’s needs.
Our diverse supplier network makes that possible, ensuring we offer the right products for all the customers we serve. We are committed to working with our suppliers and service providers to build customer loyalty, offer relevant products, and positively contribute to our local communities.
At Dollar General, we remain steadfast in our commitment to embed diversity and inclusion throughout our company as we proudly serve diverse communities across the United States and Mexico as a neighborhood general store. One area of focus is diversity of our supplier base. The integration of inclusive sourcing, processes and capacity building into our supplier strategy helps us expand the impact of diverse suppliers and provide more relevant products and meaningful experiences for each unique customer and community we serve.
By combining your relevant products with our expansive reach, together, we can best serve our customers’ needs through our mission of Serving Others, which includes everyone. We look forward to partnering with you.
Sincerely,
Jeff Owen
CEO
