Dollar General

Dollar General Corporation is a leading variety-store retailer operating in the United States. With more than 20,000 stores across 48 states, the company provides convenient, affordable access to everyday essentials — including groceries, cleaning supplies, health & beauty, housewares, and seasonal items.

With a rapidly growing store base and a commitment to maintaining consistent, well-functioning environments, Dollar General conducts annual refresh and renovation cycles across their network to ensure each location remains aligned with brand, operational, and merchandising standards.

OPPORTUNITY

Dollar General needed a dependable partner to support their annual store refresh and renovation rotation program. This included documenting existing store conditions each year to:

• Maintain consistent, accurate store records across thousands of locations
• Identify opportunities for updates or remodels
  
  
• Evaluate sales floor space and fixture placement
  
  
• Assess wear, damage, and maintenance issues
  
  
• Support fixture replenishment and reordering
  

To execute their yearly rotation schedule effectively, Dollar General required up-to-date as-built documentation that could be easily referenced by various teams including store planning and construction teams.
