Iowa among states joining FTC lawsuit over Dollar General pricing practices

The Federal Trade Commission, joined by a coalition of 20 states including Iowa, has filed a lawsuit against Dollar General. The complaint alleges the retailer engaged in long-running deceptive pricing practices by charging customers higher prices at checkout than those advertised on store shelves. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, accuses the company of failing to address these discrepancies despite having extensive internal knowledge of the issue.
