Investigate Dollar General for deceptive pricing practices

State attorneys general in Missouri and Ohio have filed lawsuits against Dollar General for advertising goods at one price on the shelves and charging higher prices at the register. But across the rest of the country these practices have gone largely unchecked. Dollar General’s practice of overcharging customers at the register is a blatant violation of consumer rights and must stop immediately. 

Sign the petition to demand the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigate Dollar General's deceptive pricing and corporate greed!


Why is this important?

With nearly 20,000 stores across 48 states, Dollar General and other discount retailers have become ubiquitous, particularly in low-income and rural areas. Often, they are the only retail option available, especially in food deserts—areas where affordable food is limited. These fraudulent practices further exploit the very people who depend on these stores the most. 

Dollar General's price manipulation isn't just a minor inconvenience; it's a calculated scheme driven by corporate greed that exploits our communities and undermines trust in retail fairness. Our communities deserve better. 

Join in fighting for justice and ensure that companies like Dollar General can't take advantage of everyday shoppers.
