Dollar General Corporation Being Sued For Deceptive Pricing Practices

Leave a comment

Kansas joins FTC and 19 States in Suing Dollar General for Charging Consumers More than Advertised for Many Products

TOPEKA – (October 28, 2026) –Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach today announced that Kansas along with the Federal Trade Commission and 19 other states, sued Dollar General Corporation for engaging in long-running deceptive pricing practices by routinely charging customers more at the register than the prices displayed on shelves, price tags and advertisements, costing consumers millions of dollars.

Kansas and 19 state partners joined the FTC in filing a complaint, alleging that Dollar General has, for years, repeatedly mislabeled prices, overcharged consumers and failed to correct the issue despite extensive corporate knowledge of the problem. The states joining the FTC lawsuit include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.

“Dollar General markets itself as a low-priced option for hardworking Kansas families and those on fixed incomes, yet the company has for years charged more at the register than the prices displayed on its shelves,” Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach said. “Despite receiving tens of thousands of consumer complaints and knowing about the problem, Dollar General failed to implement adequate safeguards. My office joined this lawsuit to stop these deceptive practices, hold the company accountable, and ensure that the prices Kansans see are the prices they actually pay under the Kansas Consumer Protection Act.”

Dollar General operates more than 21,000 stores nationwide and markets itself as a low-priced alternative to large discount and big-box retailers. The company sells thousands of household items at low prices, which are critical to its low- and fixed-income customers who rely on the accuracy of Dollar General’s pricing.

According to the complaint:

 

  • Thousands of Dollar General stores have taken advantage of vulnerable shoppers by extracting millions of dollars in unlawful overcharges with insufficient safeguards to prevent the practice.
  • Dollar General received tens of thousands of complaints from consumers across the country who say the company did not honor the advertised price, demonstrating widespread consumer harm and confirming that customers nationwide have been charged more than the advertised price.
  • Dollar General knows that it harms consumers by charging more at the register than the prices it advertises, as reflected by the numerous complaints it has received.

Despite being made aware of the problem, Dollar General has failed to implement policies and practices to adequately address the problem, according to the complaint.

 

The FTC and states allege these practices violate the FTC Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the Kansas Consumer Protection Act.

The Commission vote authorizing the staff to file the complaint was 2-0. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Kansans Still Have Time to Control Winter Energy Bills

Leave a comment

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — As temperatures begin to cool, Kansas Gas Service customers still have time to take proactive steps that can help reduce their energy usage and avoid surprises on their monthly bills as colder weather sets in.

While customers can’t control the weather, they can control the energy efficiency of their homes and how they prepare for seasonal changes in their monthly natural gas bills. Taking action now can help reduce energy usage, improve home comfort and put customers in a better position to manage heating costs throughout the winter.

“Many customers don’t realize they can help reduce their winter energy use and monthly energy costs,” said Lisa Holleron, vice president of Operations for Kansas Gas Service. “The steps they take now, from improving their home’s energy efficiency to enrolling in the Average Payment Plan, can help reduce surprises and provide more predictability during the heating season.”

Customers can prepare their homes for colder weather by sealing air leaks around doors and windows, adding weather stripping where needed and replacing or cleaning HVAC filters. Even small adjustments like lowering the thermostat when away or sleeping can help reduce unnecessary energy use.

In addition to improving energy efficiency, customers can enroll in the Kansas Gas Service Average Payment Plan (APP). The program helps reduce seasonal swings in natural gas bills by spreading costs evenly throughout the year, providing a more predictable monthly payment.

While energy usage can naturally climb during the cold winter months and increase bills, APP calculates payments using a rolling 12-month average that adjusts over time based on actual energy use and natural gas costs. Combined with energy-saving habits and home efficiency improvements, APP can help customers better plan for winter heating expenses.

The best time to prepare for winter energy bills is before winter arrives. Customers who act now can take steps to use less energy, improve home comfort, lower bills and make monthly energy costs more predictable.

Find more seasonal cost-saving tips and information about the Average Payment Plan at kansasgasservice.com/WinterReady.

About Kansas Gas Service

Kansas Gas Service provides a reliable and affordable energy choice to more than 647,000 customers in Kansas and is the largest natural gas distributor in the state, in terms of customers. Headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas Gas Service is a division of ONE Gas, Inc.
