Dollar General celebrates Veterans Day

Dollar General will honor veterans and their families with a special 11% discount on all qualifying purchases, in-store and online, on Tuesday, November 11, 2014.

“Dollar General is honored to recognize Veterans’ Day by giving back to those who have served and continue to serve our country,” said Dave D’Arezzo, Dollar General’s EVP and chief merchandising officer. “As part of our mission of Serving Others, we are committed to helping service men and women stretch their budgets and celebrate savings as a way to thank them for the time and commitment to our country.”

Dollar General will also recognize and honor the military community by bringing attention to the Paychecks for Patriots program with a special decal on the c-post of the No. 20 Dollar General Camry, driven by Matt Kenseth in the Sprint Cup Series on Nov. 9 and the No. 51 Dollar General Toyota Tundra, driven by Erik Jones in the Camping World Truck Series on Nov. 7.

Paychecks for Patriots is a partnership between state governments and employers to address veteran and National Guard unemployment challenges. This program was created by Dollar General in partnership with state employment agencies to create employment opportunities for veterans and their families both online and through hiring fairs.
