Dollar General is reaching out to small businesses that want to sign on as new vendors or service providers, inviting them to apply online from July 1 to 21.
Interested businesses can find applications at Rangeme.com/dgsbsummit through July 21, the company noted. The call is going out to businesses that have not sold products to Dollar General within the past 18 months.
Dollar General expects to hold virtual meetings with DG Small Business Development Program leaders and merchandising teams beginning in late August. The company will notify select businesses with the date and time of their meeting by August 1.
Dollar General reported its Small Business Development Program provides certified vendors and suppliers with the opportunity to learn and develop through the company’s SBD Academy, resources to support product discovery, access to services that provide funding, counseling and training, financial enablement programs and various engagement events.
“We are committed to partnering with a growing network of vendors and suppliers from all backgrounds across the United States and beyond who support our efforts to provide our customers with the products they need and want at prices they can afford,” said Emily Taylor, Dollar General’s executive vice president and chief merchandising officer. “We look forward to exploring ways in which we can collaborate to serve the millions of Americans who rely on Dollar General every day.”
