There was no competition in many places dollar stores operate. They moved into those places specifically because they were underserved by larger retailers.

- sejje 10mo agoI agree, at least in my area. Two neighboring dollar stores just went out of business in a town I commute through. The culprit? A new Harp's grocery store a block away.
- bombcar 10mo agoThe dollar store in my town is barely holding on - the competition? A Walmart across the street. The only thing keeping it afloat is literally balloons I feel. Walmart doesn’t sell helium inflated ones.
- asdff 10mo agoEhh I disagree. "No competition" yet I bet every home in the area still had groceries in the kitchen before the dollar general opened.
- IncreasePosts 10mo agoSure. Because they were driving 25 minutes each way to the nearest Walmart to do their shopping, not 5 minutes down the street.
