Coming in at ±12,726 square feet, this DG store is on the larger side. Most locations average around 7,500 square feet, though the company has been shifting toward larger formats in recent years—like their DG Market concept—to expand product selection and better serve communities. These upgraded stores typically include expanded grocery sections with fresh produce, dairy, meats, and sometimes even frozen meals and household essentials that go beyond the usual selection.
According to career listings for this store #30781, this location will have a perishables department manager, which includes job duties in managing produce, fresh meats, packaged meats, dairy, frozen food, bread, and more. This further contributing to it being a possible DG Market. See job listing: https://careers.dollargeneral.com/jobs/333987?lang=en-us
