The Dollar General Blair distribution center is the Company’s
first dual facility combining the efficiencies of traditional and
DG Fresh supply chain functionalities and represents an approximate
$140 million investment in Washington County. The roughly one
million square feet facility is expected to create more than 400
new career opportunities and support more than 1,000 DG stores at
full capacity.
“Today’s celebration not only marks another growth milestone for
our global supply chain teams, but also reflects our continued
investments in Nebraska,” said Jeff Owen, Dollar General’s chief
executive officer. “On behalf of the entire Dollar General team, we
are grateful for continued partnerships and support from state,
regional and local teams, particularly from Governor Jim Pillen,
the Gateway Development Corporation and the City of Blair. We are
confident this project will enable us to better serve our
customers, provide our employees with career opportunities and
foster a longstanding, positive relationship with the Blair
community.”
Currently, Dollar General employs more than 1,700 Nebraskans
across its store and distribution center presence.
“Congratulations to Dollar General on the grand opening of its
innovative distribution center in Blair,” said Nebraska Governor
Jim Pillen. “Nebraska’s hard-working people, central location, and
quality roads make our state a great hub for companies moving their
products across America. Thank you to Dollar General for choosing
to invest in Nebraska and for creating more than 400 new jobs in
Blair.”
“We’re proud to welcome the first ground-up dual-distribution
site for America’s general store to Blair,” said Jenny Eriksen,
Washington County Economic Development Board President. “Dollar
General’s commitment to community is a perfect fit for this region
and Washington County. Everyone in Blair has eagerly watched Dollar
General’s new 85-acre site facility take shape, and it will be a
terrific addition to our local landscape. We’re excited that Dollar
General brought this project and the 400 career opportunities to
Blair.”
