Dollar General’s journey began in 1939 when J.L. Turner and his son, Cal Turner, Sr., opened J.L. Turner and Son Wholesale in Scottsville, Kentucky. The concept was simple yet revolutionary: selling goods for a dollar or less.
This idea was formalized with the opening of the first Dollar General store in 1955. The company’s philosophy of “Serving Others” guided its expansion, focusing on small towns often overlooked by larger retailers.
