MIDDLE RIVER, MD—A new shop will soon be opening its doors in Middle River.

pOpshelf, a retail store concept from Dollar General with the vast majority of items priced at $5 or less, is bringing its second Baltimore-area location to the Martin Plaza Shopping Center.

Dollar General first announced the pOpshelf concept in October 2020 and has since opened around 200 stores, including one in Westminster.

“We are thrilled to enhance our customers’ shopping experiences through our new DG Market + pOpshelf store-within-a-store concept, which further demonstrates our innovative spirit and track record of format development,” said Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos in 2020. “Through this combined format, we aim to deliver the value and products customers trust from a DG Market with the continually-refreshed merchandise including beauty and seasonal products, home décor and arts and crafts through pOpshelf. We have been pleased with customers’ positive initial reactions, and we look forward to welcoming additional customers to experience our newest format.”

Dollar General plans to open up to 1,000 pOpshelf stores by the end of 2025.

The new store will be located at 1466 Martin Boulevard in Middle River (21220) and will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.  An official opening date as not yet been announced.
