Did you read the article or just the headline? The headline may be considered sensational but article was pretty informative: "combined grocery sales of Dollar General and Dollar Tree outstripping Whole Foods by more than $10 billion" [$24 Billion combined total sales] "There are nearly 30,000 dollar stores nationwide, more than Starbucks and Walmart combined, " "Dollar General is opening four stores a day, a rate the company is expected to maintain through 2019" Let me add some personal perspective... I live in a rural area where they've built four of these "dollar stores" within ten miles of me in the past 3 years. The closest is now only two miles away. The nearest "grocery store" is about 8 miles, and the next is about 10 miles. The closest Wal-Mart is about 15 miles. My wife came home tonight and told me "the Dollar General was packed with people tonight". I read the linked article today and also about "Kroger-owned grocery store begins fully driverless deliveries". Made me ponder how these two things coming together could change life for people who live in rural areas. Excuse me.
