While supplies last, DG customers can purchase a pair of yellow sunglasses for $2 each to support local literacy and education initiatives.

“I was in your store one day with my son and he started to feel sick. Jadon, a part-time DG sales associate working that day, made us feel so comfortable and cared about, and I will never forget that. Since that time, we’ve been back to the store every week or so and every time I see Jadon, he greets us and always has a cheerful personality. He’s always willing to help us and is truly one-of-a-kind!” – Kathie F., Signal Mountain, TN customer   Jadon joined DG in 2021 and just celebrated his first year serving as Store Manager. Thank you, Jadon, for exhibiting our mission of #ServingOthers!
