Dollar General Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Holiday & Sunday Hours

Every Dollar General store page we opened listed the same window for all seven days, so a Sunday looks just like a Monday. The opening time was 8 AM at all nine stores, and closing ranged from 8 PM to 10 PM, which makes about 8:00 AM – 9:00 PM the typical day. Thanksgiving is the question most shoppers ask: the company said most stores open that day, with hours that may vary, while Christmas Day is the one date many guides list as a full closure.

What Time Does Dollar General Open and Close? Hours Every Day

Dollar General does not publish one national closing time. Each store has its own page in the store directory on dollargeneral.com, and we read nine of them on October 13, 2026. The pattern was simple: one opening time, one closing time, repeated Monday through Sunday.

Your store may close earlier or laterClosing time in this sample tracked the neighborhood, not the day of the week. City stores in California and Maryland ended an hour or two earlier than the ones in Florida, Missouri and upstate New York, so use your own store page rather than a general figure.

What Time Does Dollar General Close Tonight? Reading Your Store Page

Each directory page opens with a live status line such as Opens at 8:00 AM tomorrow, and below it the hours table lists the seven days.

  • The status line is calculated from the store's own hours, so it is the fastest answer to whether the store is open right now.
  • Phone numbers sit just under the address on the same page, which helps if you need to confirm a late closing time.
  • Because hours are identical every day, one glance at a single row tells you the week.

The live open or closed indicator at the top of this site applies the typical window to the time zone you pick. For late-night runs, remember that stores at the 8 PM end of the range may already be locking up while others nearby stay open until 10.

Dollar General Sunday Hours

Sunday is the day many chains shorten, but Dollar General largely does not. In all nine store pages we checked, the Sunday row matched Monday through Saturday exactly.

Sunday versus Monday at four of the stores
StoreMondaySunday
Virginia Beach, VA8 AM to 9 PM8 AM to 9 PM
Inglewood, CA8 AM to 8 PM8 AM to 8 PM
Monticello, NY8 AM to 10 PM8 AM to 10 PM
Orlando, FL8 AM to 10 PM8 AM to 10 PM

That sample is nine stores out of thousands, and the chain is large enough that a few locations may cut Sunday hours because of local rules or a slow trade area. If your plans depend on a Sunday visit, glance at the Sunday line of your own store page.

Is Dollar General Open on Thanksgiving? Hours for November 26, 2026

In 2025 Dollar General stayed open on Thanksgiving. A company spokesperson told LiveNOW from FOX that most stores are open, though hours might vary by location. Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26, and we found no 2026 announcement yet.

  • Local news roundups in 2025 reported typical Thanksgiving hours of about 8 AM to 10 PM, but these figures are secondhand and not from a Dollar General notice.
  • Different outlets quoted slightly different ranges, which fits a chain that lets store hours vary.
  • Some stores may still close for the day, so the status line on your store page is more reliable than a general figure.

Dollar General Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Hours

Christmas Day 2026 falls on Friday, December 25. Holiday guides we read describe it as the one day Dollar General closes everywhere, but we could not find that stated on a company page.

  • Christmas Day: reported as closed at all stores by GoBankingRates and WhatHours. Treat it as very likely closed, and confirm on your store page.
  • Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24: we found no verified closing time, so expect regular or slightly shortened hours and check your store page.
  • New Year's Eve and New Year's Day: no closure has been announced, so expect regular hours.
Holiday guides disagree with each otherSome roundups say stores open early on Black Friday or close at 8 PM on Christmas Eve. None of those figures came from Dollar General itself, so we do not publish them as facts.

Is Dollar General Open on Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day?

We found no announced closure for any holiday other than Christmas Day, so stores generally keep their normal hours.

Why Dollar General Closing Times Differ From Town to Town

The nine pages we opened split into three groups, and the split is worth knowing before you plan a late errand.

  • Closing at 8 PM: the Inglewood, California and Baltimore, Maryland stores, both in dense city neighborhoods.
  • Closing at 9 PM: Virginia Beach, the Bronx and Fort Worth.
  • Closing at 10 PM: Monticello in New York, Orlando in Florida, Austin in Texas and Park Hills in Missouri.
  • No store in the sample opened before 8 AM or stayed open past 10 PM, and none showed a day with different hours.

Opening at 8 AM looks like the chain default in this sample. We did not find a page where the Sunday row differed, and we did not see any 24-hour location, which fits a small-box format built around a handful of staff per shift.

Do not trust a posted figure from a different stateA friend in another state may tell you Dollar General closes at 10 PM, and be right for their street and wrong for yours. The store page, or the status line on it, resolves the question in seconds.

Dollar General Market, Delivery and Other Store Services

Store pages also list what each location offers, and the lists differ from town to town.

  • DG Delivery appeared on the Monticello, Bronx, Orlando, Austin, Park Hills and Fort Worth pages, but not on the Inglewood or Baltimore pages.
  • Beer or alcohol was listed at Monticello, Orlando and Fort Worth, and wine at Austin, Park Hills and Fort Worth, so alcohol sales depend on the store and local law.
  • We found no separate hours for the larger DG Market format on the pages we read, so assume it follows the store hours shown on its own page.
Services do not carry their own clockNone of the store pages we read showed a different schedule for delivery or alcohol sales, so the posted store hours are the only times to rely on.

Dollar General Near Me Open Now: Finding the Closest Store

Dollar General has thousands of small stores, often the only retailer for miles in rural towns, so a nearby one is usually easy to find.

  • The store directory on dollargeneral.com is organized by state and city, and the Nashville list alone shows 24 stores with addresses and phone numbers.
  • Open a store's details page to see the live status line, the seven-day table and the services offered.
  • If your nearest store is closed, other discount chains may open earlier or stay later in your town.
