I think there are now over a million of these damned things in Tennessee alone. Are they everywhere, or just a southern thing?
I live out in the sticks, and there are five of them within a five mile radius of here. They and the other "Dollar" stuff were supreme investment in the day....

Three of them within 10 minutes driving of me, and the fourth one isn't that far off. I had a great uncle who made a lot of money playing the stock market, and Dollar General was his favorite stock. At one time, he had so much of it, that he was considered a major stockholder and was always going to meetings. I wish I'd listened to him when he advised me to buy that stock about 30 years ago.

They are spread far and wide for the folks who have to budget their gas purchases and can't afford the Tesla that Queyor Pete directed them to buy.

Just recently did the plumbing on a new build here in our county.
During construction,someone from the leasing company said they want one in every town.
So far they're pretty close to achieving that goal.
And ours do sell beer.

Dollar General is probably one of the larger success stories in recent history for brick and mortar marketing......even though most are made of tin.
They found a niche and worked like hell to make it happen, Hats off to um.
One of the few that have hurt Walmart.
So far Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Wyoming have remained immune.

We got 'em all over here in Michigan. Granddaughters think Papa is the greatest when I whip out a 5 for each of them and we go to the Dollar Store.

DG's seem to pop up like mushrooms here in south Jersey. It's almost like you can drive past an empty lot one day, and a week later there sits another DG.

We liked Fred’s. They no longer exist; at least not locally.

We have a Dollar General and a Family Dollar in our little town of about 3,000.
They're popping up in all the small towns around here. Pretty smart, I think. Especially now that people don't want to drive out of town to go to Walmart and such.

I live out in the sticks, and there are five of them within a five mile radius of here. Fugger got me in a cabin in Alaska. The surgeons were going to amputate my lower leg after the ABs and steroid creams didnt stop it from trying to turn to Gangrene. Dr R Bartlett saved it with iodine gas TX I described to Dr Doc Rocket on the Fire iirc who ended up saving someone's limb with that TX years later. Slow ur roll Flowrider. Wrong thread me thinks. I'm thinking brown recluse thread?
