Dollar General agreed to pay $1.55 million to Pennsylvania to settle a lawsuit over the company's alleged upcharging.

Attorney General Dave Sunday accused the discount chain of repeatedly charging customers a higher price at the register than the one advertised on store shelves, in violation of state consumer protection law. Dollar General failed over 40% of the pricing accuracy inspections conducted at its Pennsylvania stores between 2019 and 2023, according to Sunday's office. While the corporation admitted no wrongdoing, it will pay $1.55 million in penalties and investigative fees to settle the attorney general's suit. It must also increase staff training and audits to ensure compliance. MORE: Philly youth football players charged with stealing merchandise from Dick's Sporting Go
