Dollar General Accepting Supplemental Benefits Chainwide

Dollar General customers can now purchase food, produce, over-the-counter medicines and additional wellness products in more than 20,000 stores across the country using health supplemental benefits.

“With approximately 75% of Americans within five miles of a Dollar General, we recognize the unique access we provide to all communities, especially rural ones, that may not have affordable access to health and wellness essentials,” said Dr. Albert Wu, Dollar General’s chief medical officer. “We believe our partnership to expand access to supplemental and value-added benefits demonstrates our focus to keep our customers at the center of all we do and further establish Dollar General as a health destination.”
