Project Overview
Household essentials brand needed Dollar General placement that worked the value-channel economics rather than adapting an existing mass-retail SKU into the small-box format. The strategic problem was engineering an entry price point pack that delivered margin to the brand and Dollar General simultaneously, while building rural-market distribution capability through the Dollar General DC network in markets where the brand had limited operational footprint. The launch also needed to position adjacency to the DG Fresh expansion that defines the modern Dollar General store evolution and the broader basket attach the channel increasingly relies on.
Execution
MOART engineered an entry-price pack architecture sized specifically for the Dollar General small-box format with the brand's manufacturing team, negotiated palletization and case-pack specifications against the Dollar General DC network requirements, coordinated EDI 850 and 856 transaction setup with the brand's operations team for the volume that the 20,000-store distribution would generate, and positioned the brand's adjacency to the DG Fresh expansion set for cross-category basket attach.
Project Results
83% set-completion rate across 20,142 Dollar General stores within 10 months across 5 SKUs, with the entry-price pack architecture delivering target margin to both the brand and Dollar General and rural-market distribution operational across the full Dollar General DC network.
