Dollar General is a small footprint Walmart. That town without enough room for Walmart can still be decimated :)

Yup. They also put pressure on regular grocery stores and can sometimes even apply enough pressure to force a grocery store to close up shop and thereby create a "food desert".
While there's certainly a place for dollar stores in a community, you know what they don't have? A produce section.

Wow, I knew what I was saying was true but didn't realize how bad it really was. Thanks for the info!
