LITTLE ROCK, Ark., April 30, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Law Firm of Cauley Geller Bowman & Coates, LLP announced today that it has been retained to file a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of purchasers of Dollar General Corp. ("Dollar General" or the "Company") (NYSE:DG) common stock during the period between May 12, 1998 and April 27, 2001 (the "Class Period"), and suffered damages thereby.
On April 30, 2001, Dollar General announced that it would restate its financial results for its fiscal years 1998, 1999 and 2000 due to "accounting irregularities."
