GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Goodlettsville-based Dollar General has announced a corporate restructuring that will eliminate 255 jobs, including about 115 vacant positions.
Dollar General officials announced Tuesday that the discount retailer is restructuring its corporate support to improve efficiency and reduce expenses.
The company says employees have been notified of the job cuts, which are effective immediately. Positions at the store level will not be affected, according to the release.
Dollar General employs 105,500 people, including more than 1,100 at its Goodlettsville headquarters.
As of July 31, Dollar General operated more than 12,198 stores in 43 states. Earlier this year, Dollar General announced plans to accelerate the pace of its store openings as the discount chain competes with a new, larger rival: a merged Dollar Tree-Family Dollar company.
