ADENA, Ohio – Dollar General is building a new store in Jefferson County in Adena at 1187 U.S. Route 250, with the location expected to open in early summer 2026, company officials told River News.
They say the opening date could change depending on construction progress.

Dollar General says several factors are considered when selecting new store locations, including providing customers with convenient access to affordable retail options and meeting community needs for value and selection.
