Dollar General announced last July that it would build a $140 million warehouse distribution center in North Little Rock, confirming on Wednesday (Aug. 9) it expects to employ 300 workers locally.

Dollar General CEO Jeff Owen joined Little Rock and North Little Rock economic leaders and Gov. Sarah Sanders to make the announcement.

Owen said the facility in North Little Rock would be operational next year. When it was first announced a year ago, Dollar General also unveiled plans for major distribution hubs in Colorado and Oregon as part of a $480 million expansion.

Owen said Dollar General employs 4,700 Arkansans in 550 stores across the state.
