About


Dollar General was founded in Scottsville, Kentucky, as a family company, by J.L. Turner. The company is now based in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. The first store was opened in 1946 (by 1955 there were already 35 of them). The main business idea of the company, adopted in 1955, was that no product in the store would cost more than one dollar. The idea became a success, and as a result, all other stores owned by J.L. Turner & Son Inc. followed the strategy. The company was previously known as J.L. Turner & Son Inc. and changed its name to Dollar General Corporation in 1968.
