- Service Expansion: Dollar General announced that its myDG Delivery service is now available in over 17,000 stores nationwide, aiming to provide greater convenience for customers ordering everyday items, particularly in rural areas where on-demand options are often limited.
- Digital Strategy: The service is accessible through Dollar General's mobile app and website, with VP Lydia Thacher highlighting that this initiative not only enhances convenience for existing customers but also attracts new ones through a frictionless digital experience, thereby boosting brand visibility.
- Market Coverage: With approximately 75% of the U.S. population living within five miles of a Dollar General location, the expansion of myDG Delivery will further solidify its competitive position in the market, especially through partnerships with major delivery platforms like DoorDash and Uber Eats.
- User Engagement: Dollar General plans to offer customers one free myDG Delivery order between January 20 and February 28, 2026, when using a myDG account, aiming to increase user engagement and drive monthly active users across its digital channels to over 7 million.
