GOODLETTSVILLE, TN. — Dollar General is planning to add up to 50,000 new employees by the end of April as it continues to work to meet customer needs during the COVID-19 pandemic

The company operates more than 16,300 stores in 45 states, including several in Maryland.

There are also 17 traditional distribution centers, five fresh cold storage facilities and its private fleet network.

Dollar General provides employees with competitive wages, world-class and award-winning training, and development programs and expansive benefits including day-one eligibility to telemedicine, health insurance coverage options, 401K savings and retirement plans, tuition reimbursement, Dollar General’s Employee Assistance Foundation, paid parental leave, adoption assistance and much more.

The majority of the positions are expected to be temporary, but the company says they anticipate providing long-term career growth opportunities to some of these new employees.

In the past five years alone, Dollar General has added approximately 35,000 net new jobs to the American economy, growing its workforce from 105,000 employees in February 2015 to more than 143,000 current employees.
