"Today marks an incredible milestone in Dollar General's history," said Steve Deckard, Dollar General's executive vice president of store operations and development. "From our first general store to today's 20,000th store opening, our mission to serve others and help customers stretch their budget remains strong. We believe each store provides a positive impact in our hometowns through convenient access to affordable essentials, career growth opportunities for employees, and the ability for local nonprofits, schools and libraries to advance through Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants.

During this milestone celebration and hereafter, I encourage all Dollar General employees to feel pride in their work and to reflect upon the values that launched one of America's most iconic companies." Dollar General proudly employs more than 17,500 Texas employees through its store, distribution center and private fleet presence in the state.
