DGs and the other dollar stores are like the mini-big corporate Walmarts. Any mom and pop that is within a reasonable driving distance will be put out of business. The big box corps have replaced the small proprietorship LOCALLY OWNED that support rural local economies.
100% correct. I read a while back that DG with its sheer number of stores/purchasing power can leverage better wholesale retailer pricing than just about any store other than Walmart. Mom and pop stores don’t have a chance between the prices or number of employees it would take to track, order, and, inventory the number of items that a DG can stock in a small space all tracked and ordered from a central office.
