This was the final opening for the new DSG regional structure designed to bring leadership closer to employees, customers and the markets it serves.

Currently, DSG’s branches in Minnesota include Alexandria, Austin, Bemidji, Grand Rapids, Ham Lake, Monticello, Oakdale, Plymouth, Rochester, St. Paul and Winona.
