Dollar General has more than 60 stores in Maine, including the Bangor area locations in Hampden, Glenburn, Old Town, Eddington, Winterport, and Milford.

Dollar General is based in Goodlettsville, Tenn., and competes with Dollar Tree and Family Dollar. Dollar Tree and Family Dollar are both owned by the same company.

The new Dollar General in Bangor will compete with Family Dollar which is literally right up the street (at the corner of State Street and Broadway)
