Case Study: Dollar General accelerates new store growth with SASR Workforce Solutions

Expanding Dollar General’s Potential with Travel Teams for New Stores and Solutions

Dollar General, a Fortune 100 retailer with more than 18,000 stores, was expanding rapidly in 2020 and 2021 while continuing to remodel hundreds of locations each year. To keep new store openings and remodels on schedule and cost-effective, the company needed a reliable source of skilled labor for projects in rural markets and other hard-to-fill locations, which led it to work with SASR Workforce Solutions and its travel team staffing services.

SASR Workforce Solutions provided dedicated project managers, stocking teams, Pop Shelf support, and supply chain labor to fill retail and warehouse roles across the country. The results included 600 unique projects across 38 states, 1,300+ representatives, 76,000 hours on project work, an 85%+ fill rate, and nearly 100 merchandiser roles completed through more than 1,200 assignments, contributing over 135,000 hours at 700 new stores.
