Dollar General Corp. has announced plans to build its 17th distribution facility.
The discounter, which has 900 new stores on tap for 2018, expects to begin construction of a new distribution center, in Longview, Texas, in early 2018. The state-of-the-art facility is expected to serve approximately 1,000 Dollar General stores in Texas and the Southeast.
“This facility is expected to support Dollar General’s growing store count in Texas where we already operate more than 1,400 current locations and have complementary operations in San Antonio,” said Todd Vasos, CEO, Dollar General, which currently has more than 1,400 stores and over 12,000 employees in Texas.
The retailer has selected Clayco as the project’s official general contractor, Leo A. Daly as the architectural engineering firm and Elan Design as the civil engineering firm.
Dollar General currently has 15 distribution centers that are located in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas (San Antonio), Virginia and Wisconsin. The company’s 16th distribution center, in Amsterdam, New York, is currently under construction.
