The following is a press release from Dollar General:
Dollar General announced it completed the purchase of the former Walmart Express location at 1041 South US Highway 1 in Alma, Georgia today.  Dollar General anticipates relocating an existing store location into the purchased sites by October 2016. This is one of 41 former Walmart Express locations across 11 states the major discount retailer purchased.
“Dollar General is excited to add these locations to our existing store base.  We look forward to the opportunity to better serve our customers in these communities by continuing to provide the convenience and value they expect from Dollar General,” said Todd Vasos, Dollar General’s chief executive officer.
Communities served by the newly-relocated store will enjoy a fresh DG16 layout with additional sales floor square feet, complete with expanded offerings such as fresh meat and produce, all designed to make shopping easier for customers.  Alma is also one of 37 locations where Dollar General intends to operate the fueling stations.
