North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson has joined a multistate lawsuit against Dollar General, along with the Federal Trade Commission and 20 other states. The suit alleges that the retailer displays lower prices on store shelves than the amounts customers are charged at checkout, resulting in repeated overcharges.
North Carolina has more than 1,000 Dollar General stores, the second-highest number of the chain’s stores in any state, according to the information provided. The number underscores the retailer’s extensive presence in North Carolina, though the lawsuit summary does not specify how many stores or transactions are involved in the allegations.
The case concerns a difference between posted shelf prices and prices charged at the register. The allegations have been brought by the participating government agencies and states; the information provided does not include Dollar General’s response or establish that a court has made findings about the claims.
Details about when the lawsuit was filed, where it was filed, the specific legal claims, and any requested penalties or other remedies were not provided. The summary also does not describe particular customer experiences, inspection results, or the next steps in the case.
Jackson’s participation places North Carolina among the states pursuing the lawsuit with the FTC. Further information about the case’s status and the allegations’ scope was not included in the available summary.
