Dollar General to Pay $400,000 to Colorado in Pricing-Accuracy Settlement

State inspections documented repeated mismatches between shelf and checkout prices.

Overview

  • Officials reported 23 inspections between April 2023 and February, with the chain failing 15 for charging more at the register than listed on shelves.
  • Under the agreement, stores must post notices promising to honor the lower price and undergo three years of price audits in Colorado.
  • Dollar General will conduct internal audits and enhance employee training while formally denying any violation of the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
  • Attorney General Phil Weiser said consumers are entitled to the shelf price, and his office did not specify how the $400,000 will be used.
  • The retailer operates 68 locations in Colorado, with inspections covering communities including Milliken, Loveland, Greeley, Evans, Strasburg, Eaton, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Commerce City and Federal Heights.
