Beginning Wednesday, Mar. 18, all Dollar General stores in Lamar County will allow only senior citizens to shop for the first hour.
On Monday, Dollar General Corporation announced plans to dedicate the first hour of each shopping day to senior shoppers, and strongly encouraged franchisees to implement these changes. Early Tuesday morning, local Dollar General representatives met to put the changes into place in Lamar County and all stores agreed to follow suit.
“In keeping with the Company’s mission of Serving Others, Dollar General wants to provide these at-risk customers with the ability to purchase the items they need and want at the beginning of each day to avoid busier and more crowded shopping periods,” said the company in an online statement. “Other customers are encouraged to plan their shopping trips around this window of time to allow the most susceptible customers in our communities the ability to shop during the first hour that stores are open.”
