Does Dollar General Sell Alcohol?
Some Dollar General stores sell beer and wine, but not necessarily all. The company's 10-K for the year ended January 29, 2016 lists "beer and wine" among perishables and names beer and wine licenses as an asset. We found no official store list, so check your local store.

What Dollar General’s own filing says
In its annual report (Form 10-K) for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2016, filed with the SEC, Dollar General describes its consumables category as including perishables “such as milk, eggs, bread, frozen meals, beer and wine.” The filing’s notes also say that noncurrent other assets consist primarily of qualifying prepaid expenses for maintenance, beer and wine licenses, and utility, security and other deposits.
What that does and does not tell you
- The company sells beer and wine in at least some stores and holds licenses for them.
- The filing we read does not say how many stores, or which states, sell alcohol.
- We found no statement in it about spirits, so we do not say whether stores carry them.
This filing is from 2016, so stores may have changed since then. We did not find a newer official list.
How to check
Call the store or look at its shelves. We found no official source for how licensing works store by store, so we do not describe it. You must be of legal age to buy, and laws vary by state; see laws and travel.
