Why This Lawsuit Exists?
The lawsuit alleged that Dollar General charged customers more at the register than the prices advertised on store shelves, sometimes repeatedly, and sometimes for similar merchandise.
Dollar General denies any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation costs and risks.
