Exhibit 10.41

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDMENT TO THE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made December 15, 2008, between Dollar General Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (the “Company”), and Susan S. Lanigan (“Employee”).  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Employment Agreement (as defined below).  

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have previously entered into an Employment Agreement by and between the Company and Employee dated April 1, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to amend the Employment Agreement to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree to amend the Employment Agreement, effective as of the date hereof, as follows:

1.

Incentive Bonus.  The following sentence shall be added to the end of Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement as a new last sentence thereof:

“Any bonus payments due hereunder shall be payable to Employee no later than 21⁄2 months after the end of the Company’s taxable year or the calendar year, whichever is later, in which Employee is first vested in such bonus payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.”

2.

Release; Timing of Severance Payments.  Section 11(b) of the Employment Agreement shall be amended to delete the first sentence thereof and insert the following sentence in replacement thereof:

“In the event of one of the triggers referenced in Sections 11(a)(i) through (iii) above, then, on the 60th day after Employee’s termination of employment, but contingent upon the execution and effectiveness of the Release attached hereto and made a part hereof, and subject to Section 22(n) below, Employee shall be entitled to the following:”

The Company and Employee hereby agree that any severance amounts that would otherwise have been payable during the 60 day period following Employee’s termination of employment shall instead be payable in a single lump sum on the 60th day after 

2

Employee’s termination, with the remaining severance payments paid in the form of salary continuation payments as set forth under Section 11(b).

3.

Effect of Change in Control.  The Company and Employee hereby agree that the special timing of severance payments described under Section 12(a) of the Employment Agreement for certain terminations of employment following a Change in Control shall apply only in the event that the Change in Control constitutes a change in ownership or effective control within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code.  In the event that the Change in Control does not constitute a change in ownership or effective control within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, then the timing of any severance payments shall be determined pursuant to Section 11 of the Employment Agreement.  The Company and Employee further agree that any severance amounts which become payable pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Employment Agreement shall become payable on the 60th day after Employee’s termination of employment, but contingent upon the execution and effectiveness of the Release attached to the Employment Agreement.

4.

Section 409A Compliance Generally.  Section 22(n) of the Employment Agreement shall be amended as follows:

a)

Section 22(n)(ii) is hereby amended to delete the sentence therein commencing with the words “Notwithstanding the foregoing” including the immediately following clauses (A) and (B).

b)

Section 22(n)(iv) is hereby deleted in its entirety, and new sentences shall be inserted in lieu thereof to read as follows:

“References under this Agreement to Employee’s termination of employment shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which Employee has experienced a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  All payments made under this Agreement shall constitute “separate payments” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to Employee under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be paid to Employee in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).”

5.

Continuation of Employment Agreement in Other Respects.  In all other respects, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

6.

Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed by either of the parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original Amendment, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

3

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment to the Employment Agreement, effective as of the day and the year first set forth above.

    IMPORTANT
NOTICE

       
The Corporation will furnish to any stockholder, on request and without charge,
a full statement of the information required by Section 2-211(b) of the
Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland with
respect to the designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights,
voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other
distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the
stock of each class which the Corporation has authority to issue and (if the
Corporation is authorized to issue any preferred or special class in series),
(i) the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of
each series to the extent set, and (ii) the authority of the Board of Directors
to set such rights and preferences of subsequent series.  The foregoing
summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by reference to the charter of the Corporation (the "Charter"), a copy
of which will be sent without charge to each stockholder who so requests. 
Requests for such written statement may be directed to the Secretary of the
Corporation, at the Corporation's principal office.

        
The shares represented by this certificate are subject to the restrictions on
Beneficial and Constructive Ownership and Transfer for the purpose of the
Corporation's maintenance of its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Subject to
certain further restrictions and except as expressly provided in the
Corporation's Charter, (i) no Person may Beneficially Own in excess of 9.8% of
the outstanding Common Shares of the Corporation (by value or by number of
shares, whichever is more restrictive); (ii) no Person may Constructively Own in
excess of 9.8% of the outstanding Common Sharess of the Corporation (by value or
by number of shares, whichever is more restrictive); (iii) no Person may
Beneficially or Constructively Own Common Shares that would result in the
Corporation being "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code or otherwise
cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT; and (iv) no Person may
Transfer Common Shares if such Transfer would result in the capital stock of the
Corporation being owned by fewer than 100 Persons.  Any Person who
Beneficially or Constructively Owns or attempts to Beneficially or
Constructively Own Common Shares which causes or will cause a Person to
Benefically or Constructively Own Common Shares in excess of the above
limitations must immediately notify the Corporation.  If any of the
restrictions on transfer or ownership are violated, the Common Shares
represented hereby will be automatically transferred to a Trustee of a Trust for
the benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries.  In addition, the
Corporation may redeem shares upon the terms and conditions specified by the
Board of Directors in its sole discretion if the Board of Directors determines
that ownership or a Transfer or other event may violate the restrictions
described above.  Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain events,
attempted Transfers in violation of the restrictions described above may be void
AB INITIO.  All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined
in the Charter of the Corporation, as the same may be amended from time to time,
a copy of which, including the restrictions on transfer and ownership, will be
furnished to each holder of Common Shares on request and without charge. 
Requests for such a copy may be directed to the Secretary of the Corporation, at
the Corporation's principal office.
