They built one out in the middle of nowhere here. About halfway to town from where I live. Never stopped there. Never will. Every time I drive by it, the parking lot is full of trash... Not the kind that blows around in the wind... the other kind. The kind that loads 12 people into a $300 car and takes everyone shopping at Dollar General.

We have one that is almost ready to open. I am glad to see it in our small one red light town that has only one grocery store. It will keep my 84 year old mom from driving to the nearest Wal- Mart.

They are here to, and I don't particularly mind them. There is one about 5 miles from me, and it has saved us a number of trips to places further on down the road. I had a great uncle who was very good about investing, and owned a lot of stocks. DG was his favorite stock, and he had many shares of it, and was always trying to get me to buy some. I never did, as I was always looking for something more glamorous, but it is a stock that has always performed very well.

Disgusting places, they are. What's disgusting about them? Here, it's the people that frequent them. Been years since I was in a Dollar Store of any type. They do have their redeeming qualities though... They are the only place you can buy your 2 year old a cheap Chinese toy that is mislabeled, painted with lead paint, and has parts the child can choke on... All that for 99 cents!

I've never seen a DG in so. Idaho. We're flooded with Family Dollars and a few Dollar Trees.

Like just about any other store in the world, location matters.
If you live in a schithole it will be a schithole. If you live in an affluent area they'll be well kept and have better schit.
I will advise not to go there the day before New Year's unless you want to witness two DG employees explain to a mother of seven-hundred-and-twelve the difference between helium and oxygen.
You'll be standing there for a while.

Why hate em. We have 2 . They sell cotton twine to tie roasts and chickens with. Wmart doesn't. They also sell readers and Sunglasses cheaper than Wmart. I'll admit their checkers do look rode hard and put up wet. Not people I would trust with my cash register.

I have no problem with the stores. This country has bigger troubles than Dollar General.

We seem to have one on every other corner in here in N. AL. They are actually pretty low profile, and they take some of the armed stickup pressure off the corner gas station/convenience stores.

I don't see the problem with the DG model, except they do probably over-saturate the market a bit. We spend a lot of time up in Emily, Mn. and there's one small grocery store in town that's very high priced. The local DG gives a viable option with more variety, but I'm guessin the local hardware store isn't too crazy about their neighbor down the street.

I've heard you don't have to dress up to go to DG like you do for Wal-Mart.

I like having a Dollar General close by, Fugg Walmart. Comon dude Walmart rocks A Walmart comparison is a real stretch. I do despise Walmart after working with them for years as a supplier, but Walmart and Dollar General are apples and grapefruit. Love or hate Walmart, they work and although they have become the standard in the retail industry, I believe they leave a lot to be desired for a store and try to avoid them. Dollar General, however, is a place that you had better check the dates on any perishable product you buy there, because their volume is so low, products do go out of date. I don't know what keeps their doors open, it sure isn't the amount of business they do...

They did over 25 billion in sales last year, maybe you have some inside info we don't know about?
