The New Yorker and ProPublica did an excellent piece on how these stores impact lower-income communities, price out local mom & pop stores, create food deserts, and put their employees in serious harm’s way. https://www.propublica.org/article/how-dollar-stores-became-magnets-for-crime-and-killing/amp

The 99¢ Only stores in my area have some of the best produce in town. They also have a better selection of seasonal produce than the regular grocery stores.

Sounds like the mom and pop shops can't hang.
Community > mom and pop

You’re correct, they can’t hang against economies of scale and corporations that don’t pay a living wage. Thus they close, and put a local business owner and their employees out of work. And while it would be great if they could hang, again, see their ability to compete against economies of scale and exploitation.
