The new Dollar General Store is open for business. The new store is located at 601 South 7th Street and will have 9,100 total square feet and employ approximately 6 to 10 people.
The layout is simple and makes it easy for customer shopping.  Other highlights include convenient cash register locations away from the entryway, seasonal products featured in the center of the store, coolers at the front of the store and more visible department signage sometime today, according to management.
The store tried to open its doors Monday at 8 a.m. but due to a glitch in the doors and some heating issues,  the opening was delayed to later in the day.  Regular hours will run seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. 
The new Dollar General will offer customers the brands and products they use most in a small, easy-to-shop store.  Dollar General sells quality name-brand and private label merchandise such as health and beauty products, cleaning supplies, housewares, stationery, seasonal goods, basic clothing, packaged food products, refrigerated foods like dairy products and lunch meat, and frozen food.

The majority of the products are priced at $10 or less, with approximately 25 percent of the products priced at $1 or less.
This will be the first Dollar General in Wyoming, Ill. Dollar General has 312 stores in Illinois.
An official grand store opening will be scheduled sometime in January.
In addition to being a convenient place to shop, Dollar General is deeply committed to the communities it calls home. Dollar General is an ardent supporter of literacy and education, which we believe is an important step towards a better life. At the cash register of every Dollar General store, customers interested in learning how to read, speak English or get their GED can pick up a brochure with a postage-paid reply card that they can mail in for referral to a local organization that offers free literacy services.
Dollar General gives back through grants to community organizations.  More information about the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and its grant programs is available at www.dollargeneral.com.
