GENERAL NOTES ANNOUNCED

GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. - July 2, 2007 - Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) (the “Company” or “Dollar General”) announced today that it had been advised by Buck Acquisition Corp., a Tennessee corporation (“Buck”), which is indirectly controlled by investment funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), that Buck had determined tentative pricing information in connection with the cash tender offer (and related consent solicitation) (the “Tender Offer”) relating to the $200 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 8 ⁵/₈% Senior Notes due 2010 of Dollar General (the “Notes”). If the Tender Offer for the Notes expires as currently scheduled, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 5, 2007, the Company will pay total consideration of $1,087.72 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Tender Offer is being conducted in connection with the anticipated merger (the “Merger”) of Buck with and into Dollar General. Additional information regarding the Merger and the related transactions can be found in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement (the “Offer to Purchase”) dated June 4, 2007, which more fully sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer.

Buck reserves the right to extend the expiration time of the Tender Offer subject to applicable law. In the event the expiration time is extended, Buck will publicly announce the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the previously scheduled expiration time.

If the Tender Offer expires at the currently scheduled expiration time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 5, 2007, Buck expects the settlement date to be July 6, 2007, subject to satisfying various conditions, including all conditions precedent to the Merger.

The total consideration for the Notes includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. All holders who validly tendered their Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase on or prior to the consent payment deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2007 will receive the total consideration, which includes the consent payment. All other holders who tender their Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer prior to the expiration time (currently scheduled at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 5, 2007 unless the expiration time is extended) will receive the tender offer consideration of $1,057.72 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered.

The purchase price for the Notes was determined by reference to a fixed spread of 50 basis points over the bid side yield (as quoted on Bloomberg screen PX5 at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on July 2, 2007) of the 3.625% U.S. Treasury Note due June 15, 2010.
