ttorney General Phil Weiser announced today that he has reached a settlement with Dollar General after an investigation found the company charged consumers more for products at the register than prices listed on shelves. The company has agreed to correct its business practices, including implementing increased reporting requirements, and to pay a $400,000 fine.

“When shoppers are going to the store, they are entitled to pay the price at the cash register that they see on shelves,” said Attorney General Weiser. “In this case, Dollar General was telling their customers that they would be charged one price and actually charging them another, and I am now holding them accountable for this wrongful conduct. I will always fight for the rights of Colorado consumers and work to make sure they are treated fairly by businesses.”
