Another pOpshelf in Columbia is under construction and is expected to also open this fall, and the company says it plans to evaluate additional areas in South Carolina for possible future store locations.

pOpshelf was introduced in Nashville, Tennessee, in the fall of 2020, and Dollar General plans to operate approximately 50 locations and 25 store-within-a-store locations in various markets by the end of the 2021 fiscal year.

Each pOpshelf store is expected to create up to 15 new jobs. Candidates interested in employment may apply for positions at https://careers.popshelf.com/ or text JOBS to 38228 for a link to the careers page.

pOpshelf plans to be active in the community and says it is partnering with The Confetti Foundation to provide 1,500 birthday parties in the 2021 fiscal year to children who have to spend their birthday in a hospital, pediatric oncology clinic or hospice facility.
