Dollar General (DG) has announced that it recently remodeled its store at 553 W. Main St. in Mount Joy. In addition to the same categories, brands and products customers trust Dollar General to carry, the store now provides customers with an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables.

While DG is not a grocer, the company cares about and is invested in the health of its hometowns, currently offering fresh fruits and vegetables in more than 5,400 DG stores. DG'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. 

DG stores are designed to provide customers with affordable and convenient access to household essentials, including components of a nutritious meal such as canned and frozen vegetables, canned fruits, proteins, grains, dairy and more; cleaning supplies; paper products; over-the-counter medicines; hygiene products; baby items; and more through its mission of "Serving Others."

DG is committed to the communities it calls home, evidenced by its support of literacy and education initiatives through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation. Schools, nonprofit organizations and libraries within a 15-mile radius of the store can apply for Dollar General Literacy Foundation grants.

Since its inception in 1993, the Dollar General Literacy Foundation has awarded more than $254 million in grants to nonprofit organizations, helping more than 21.8 million individuals take their first steps toward literacy or continued education.
