    Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct:
    Alleged deceptive pricing practices

    BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct.  The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency.

    On 11/1/2022, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed suit against Dollar General Corporation for alleged deceptive pricing practices.  Specifically, the lawsuit alleged the business advertises a low price but consumers are charged a higher price at the checkout counter.

    On 2/8/2023, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced that his office and Dollar General reached an agreement to avert a temporary restraining order

    On 11/16/2023, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced that the bulk of a $1 million settlement with Dollar General will go to food banks or other hunger-relief organizations spanning every one of the state’s 88 counties.

    Under an agreement reached between Yost’s office and Dollar General, $750,000 of the settlement money will be distributed to food banks for the purchase and distribution of food and/or personal-care items. Each county auditor will choose the beneficiary in his or her county – a decision that must be submitted to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office by Nov. 30.

    The matter is final.  For more detail go to https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Media/News-Releases/November-2023/AG-Yost-Announces-$750-000-to-Benefit-Local-Ohio-F

      Complaint Type:
      Sales and Advertising Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      Upon reviewing my receipt, I noticed several items were rung up for more than the advertised price. Newport cigarettes are listed in store for 9.65, but I was charged a full dollar more. I was also not credited the full $3 off for buying 2 packs as advertised in store (the $2 credit is for Doritos). Per several online articles this is a common issue at DG and this practice is ILLEGAL. I demand a gift card to compensate me for my troubles. Also, why are you letting shirtless homeless people in your store?? This was at the store in ********* Fl across from the airport around 9 am 7/6/24. I will be returning to the store to photograph the listed prices compared to my receipt. I will also be notifying the proper authorities if this issue is not resolved

      The Dollar general near us has a trash heap behind their store which is causing trash to be blown over or around the fence on to our property and others as well. We are in our 70s and keep our yard clean but it's hard when they throw their trash on the ground and leave it there to be blown about. It is under-staffed but it seems they could get someone to pick up the trash.
