INPWR INC.
DOLLAR GENERAL PROJECT IEC NATIONAL 2019 AWARDS | EXCELLENCE IN ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION
InPwr Inc. was recognized for its work on the Dollar
General project
Dollar General Corporation (DG) has interwoven itself
in the “fabric of small-town America”, with its mission
of “Serving Others” since the company’s start in 1939.
With over 15,000 convenience stores located across 44
states, 17 distribution centers, and 130,000 employees,
DG’s sales have continued to rise despite retail’s overall
trends, by providing value, easy-to-shop stores, and
household staples to communities across rural America.
InPwr Inc. was honored to be a part of DG’s latest project,
a $10 million, 1.2 million sq. ft. distribution facility, and a site
consisting of roughly 150 acres, located in Longview, TX.
Outbuildings included a truck maintenance facility, dispatch
office, pump house, and two guardhouses at the inbound
entrances and outbound exits. Once fully in operation, the
distribution center will employ 400 local workers, bringing a
positive economic surge to this small city in Eastern Texas.
InPwr’s team worked fast and furious to meet the project’s
incredibly condensed nine month schedule. The TX
high heat and the footprint of the overall 150-acre site,
along with all areas being worked at once made this a
true achievement. Through relentless dedication and a
commitment to excellence, we overcame and built it better!
We’re excited to see the impact to the Longview area, along
with all the rural communities the DG stores it will serve.
