    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

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic.
