GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. – Dollar General recently announced that its new DG Market at 992 Dry Pond Rd in Covington is now open. The new DG Market store format features an expanded selection of fresh meats, fruits and vegetables, as well as the same categories, brands and products customers trust Dollar General to carry.
“We are excited to provide Covington residents with our new DG Market format and look forward to welcoming customers to our new location,” Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development said. “At Dollar General, we are committed to serving our customers with a pleasant shopping experience and strive to be a good corporate citizen. The new DG Market format aims to provide the Covington community with closer access to fresh and healthier foods and a convenient location to purchase the items they want and need at everyday low prices.

To help commemorate the opening of DG’s new Covington location, Dollar General plans to donate 100 new books to a nearby elementary school to benefit students ranging from kindergarten to fifth grade. In partnership with the Kellogg Company, the donation will be part of a planned donation of more than 60,000 books in fiscal 2023 across the country to celebrate new DG store openings.
