PADEN CITY – A new Dollar General store is expected to open in Paden City early next year.

A quick razing of the old building took place a couple weeks ago after a store-closing sale was held with items marked down 50 percent to 75 percent off.

“At this time, a store opening is slated for early winter 2025, but understand that construction progress may alter this date,” said Emma Hall, Dollar General’s public relations coordinator.

The new store will be a DG Market and employ between 10-15 people.

“Dollar General’s DG Market format offers expanded produce, refrigerated and frozen food offerings, dairy products and more, in addition to an assortment of fresh meats, alongside the general merchandise customers trust Dollar General to provide,” Hall said.

“Dollar General’s produce set offers the top 20 items typically sold in traditional grocery stores, which includes a curated assortment of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, apples, bananas, strawberries, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lemons, limes, salad mixes and more.”

Hall noted that all Dollar Generals sell name-brand and private-brand merchandise including foods, health and beauty products, home cleaning supplies, housewares, stationery, seasonal items and basic clothing.

“In addition to high quality private brands, Dollar General sells products from America’s most-trusted brands such as Clorox, Procter & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, Unilever, Kellogg’s, General Mills, Nabisco, Hanes, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola,” she added.
