I grew up in a rural community that was at one time nearly a 30-45 minute drive from any major department store. Dollar General stores have filled in the gap and people in my hometown genuinely enjoy shopping there. It's convenient, it's close, it's got all the basics, it's cheap. It's easy. It works quite well for these smaller communities that don't justify a Wal-Mart or Target sized department store.
