Nicollet mall in Minneapolis which recently underwent a $50 million makeover is now home to a DGX store, a new Dollar General store concept meant for city centers with merchandise geared towards instant consumption.
The new store is located at 520 Nicollet Mall on the corner of Nicollet Mall and Fifth Street.
A news release from Dollar General announcing the opening said the downtown store will provide customers with approximately 3,800 sales floor square feet of convenient, easy in-and-out retail space while providing a selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, an expanded health and beauty section, frozen and refrigerated food offerings.
Dollar General already operates 163 stores in Minnesota but the Minneapolis store is the first DGX store in the state for the company and brings the number of DGXs nationwide to twenty stores.
“We are excited to bring our DGX format to the Minneapolis community to help support the needs of customers in the city’s vibrant downtown community,” said Dan Nieser, Dollar General’s senior vice president of real estate and development. “Through our DGX Minneapolis location, we look forward to serving customers with value and convenience on quality products to help them save money on the everyday, essential items they need.”
