ATLANTA, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RELEX Solutions, a unified, AI-native platform for retail and supply chain planning, is partnering with Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG), a mass merchandising discount retailer, to implement forecasting, replenishment, and allocation capabilities across its North American operations.
Dollar General operates more than 21,000 stores and 34 distribution centers, managing approximately 18,000 SKUs, and continues to expand its store footprint each year.
