MONTGOMERY, Alabama – Retailer Dollar General announced the opening of a 450,000-square-foot DG Fresh cold storage facility in Montgomery that will create 65 jobs and advance the company’s growth plans through a $26 million investment.
The new DG Fresh facility, located at 6080 Mobile Highway, seeks to support approximately 1,500 stores through the company’s Fresh initiative, which is a strategic multi-phased shift to self-distribution of frozen and refrigerated goods such as dairy, deli and frozen products.
“We are incredibly grateful for the tremendous support from both state and local officials who helped make this project happen,” said Rod West, Dollar General’s vice president of perishables growth and development. “Our Montgomery DG Fresh facility will allow us the opportunity to better serve our surrounding stores and communities with the quality products at affordable prices that customers depend on us to carry.”
