Dollar General to close nearly 100 stores but plans significant expansion and remodels.

Dollar General plans to close nearly 100 underperforming stores, including 96 Dollar General and 45 pOpshelf locations, by 2026. This move affects less than 1% of its total stores. Despite the closures, the company forecasts growth, with plans to open 575 new stores in the U.S. and up to 15 in Mexico, and remodel over 4,000 existing stores. The closures, starting in May, are part of a broader portfolio optimization review.
