Dollar General in New Athens offers a range of everyday essentials at affordable prices, including food, snacks, health and beauty aids, cleaning supplies, basic apparel, housewares, seasonal items, paper products, and more from trusted brands and private labels. The store sells tobacco and produce, and customers can save with the myDG program. However, it sometimes has overstock that isn't always what shoppers need, and only opens the self-checkout when chosen, with aisles cluttered with stock carts that can be a safety hazard. The staff is helpful, as shown when a worker kindly provided personal bungee cords. The store stays open until 10 pm daily, with prices often cheaper than other locations, despite closing an hour earlier.
Over stock on a lot of items but not usually what people need. They only have self checkout open when they choose to have it open. Isles have stock carts that are a safety hazard.

Lady in line hit a deer with her car. Dollar General did not have bungee cords, so the DG worker gave her some of her personal cords. How generous!!

Dollar general in new Athens stays open till 10 pm Monday through Sunday and prices on somethings are cheeper than Marissa Dg and top it off with closing an hour early all week . So the price difference is probably due to 7 less hours in Marissa.
