Dollar General is on the move in rural areas. They have a high success rate at getting County Commissioners to rezone rural/agricultural areas for commercial use. We are fighting one right now. They seem to want a store about every five to seven miles. Disgusting places, they are. Don’t go in them if they are disgusting. I’ve seen them, never been in one, only cause I never had the need.

Everything in the store is less quality. That’s why it’s Dollar General. It ain’t 10 Dollar General.
Don't forget Five Below for the high rollers. You western trash probably haven't seen those yet. We got one here a couple years back. 2/3 of the damned place was candy. I have no idea how they're still in bidness. FC Not here. They got everything. Phone chargers, protectors, books, toys, gifts, beach stuff and all kinds of schit. And candy.
Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual. Sorry, trump is a no tax payin pile of shiit. My young wife decided to play the field and had moved several dudes into my house

That was one thing we noticed last winter as we drove around throughout the US; Dollar General stores everywhere. Seemed like every crossroads has one. GD

Our Shopko is closing maybe we can get one here. It sounds just like they sell the same thing as Shopko but are more successful at it.

They're popping up everywhere around here. I've got one six miles from my house and it's saved me a lot of driving over the several years it's been there. I can drive six miles and get a loaf of bread or I can drive 30 to a wal-mart and get the same loaf. At the wal-mart I get to walk 300 yds through the store fighting meth heads and other assorted trash for my loaf of bread, at the DG I can walk 50' and fight fewer meth heads. I could also drive 30 miles and go to the hoity toity grocery & pay twice as much for the same loaf of bread, but I'd get to stare at the butt of some narcissistic rich housewife while she goes on her daily "look at me!" tour of the local upscale stores.
I'll stick with the DG, I get in and out quick without getting ripped off on the price. That's 99.9% of what I care about.

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.  I don't call if the Squalor General for nothing.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

It might not be the cheapest option though. DG almost never is the absolute cheapest. They carefully price their stuff just a little higher than Wal-mart, just enough to make it not worth the drive to get to a cheaper place. They're not ridiculously high though. Here we have a grocery chain called Winn-Dixie. You can walk into one of them and a can of beans will be twice the price of the exact same thing at the Wal-mart two blocks away. I don't know how they stay in business.

There are three in this county and one Walmart. One of them is almost in the Walmart parking lot. They are very convenient even if their stock is limited. You can park right next to the door and get in and out a whole helluva lot quicker than Walmart where there are about twenty handicapped spots near the door, unused, and the rest of the lot full of pogues wandering aimlessly in the store...consuming. We would have one down in the little town 4 miles distant, but the stupid mother farkers in the town elected some even more stupid mother farkers to their town council who, in their wisdom, decided to not allow Dollar General to come in because it might hurt the business of this tiny grocery store that carries almost nothing and everything it does carry is out-of-date. Around here I am pretty sure that the handicap parking spots at Wal-Mart must be leases out as long-term parking; they are always full.

Dollar General is not a dollar store, but I know the name confuses mouth breathers. BS it's not. It's a dollar store. Not everything in all dollar stores are a dollar anymore. Just like everything in yesteryear's dime store wasn't a dime. You ever stepped foot in a Dollar General? I have. They are a fuggin' dollar store. Some may be better than others in certain areas, but don't piss down our necks and tell us it's raining. https://aboutus.dollargeneral.com/our-history/Lol, okay, if you say so.

They are basically miniature Walmarts, they sell the same crap such as food, snacks, health and beauty aids, cleaning supplies, basic apparel, housewares and seasonal items.
Walmart hates them, they are taking a healthy chunk outta their business.
$25.6 billion in sales in fiscal 2018
15,472 retail locations as of March 1, 2019
Approximately 135,000 employees
Ranked #123 on the Fortune 500 list as of May 2018
Walmart was the disrupter, wiping out numerous local mom and pop retail outlets. Now Walmart has become the disruptee, being disrupted by Amazon, Dollar General, et. al. Such is capitalism, survival of the fittest. Customers the winners (generally, not always) DF

Around here I am pretty sure that the handicap parking spots at Wal-Mart must be leases out as long-term parking; they are always full. Day before last I parked next to a older, kind of rough looking GM car with handicap license plate, temporary spare on left rear and a light bar on roof, parked in a designated handicap only spot at a local Dollar General store. As I walked past it I could see it had the full firefighter turnout gear laying in the back seat. I had to wonder how someone that qualified for handicapped license plates could be capable of working fires even on a volunteer fire dept.

Could possibly be that the handicap sticker was for the wife of the driver. We have a sticker for my wife, for whom walking is difficult.
