YORK, Pa. — Dollar General announced Monday that one of its recently renovated stores in York is now offering produce.
The store, located at 5 Cinema Drive, will have fruits and vegetables in addition to the same categories, brands and products it has always offered, the company said in a press release.
“At Dollar General, we strive to be a positive business partner and good community neighbor in York,” said Matthew Simonsen, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and store development. “Although we are not a grocery store, we believe the addition of produce in our York store highlights our commitment to deliver a pleasant shopping experience that includes affordable prices on quality products in a convenient location.”
Dollar General’s produce set offers the top 20 items typically sold in traditional grocery stores and covers approximately 80% of produce categories most grocery stores carry. It will include fresh fruits and vegetables, including tomatoes, onions, apples, strawberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lemons, limes, salad mixes and more. The store will also continue to offer frozen and refrigerated food offerings.
Dollar General offers fresh fruits and vegetables in more than 5,400 stores across the country with a meaningful number in current USDA-defined food deserts. With this achievement, the retailer has more individual points of produce distribution than any other U.S. mass retailer or grocer.
DG stores are proud to provide customers with affordable and convenient access to household essentials including components of a nutritious meal (canned and frozen vegetables, canned fruits, proteins, grains, dairy, and more), cleaning supplies, paper products, over-the-counter medicines, hygiene products, baby items and more through its mission of serving others.
