Show Notes
North Carolinas Dollar General stores surge, now second in the nation, with 1,150 locations, outpacing Georgia. The retailers expansion, starting post-recession, targets rural areas, offering quick access in small towns. However, locals in some areas oppose new builds due to safety concerns and fears of losing local grocers. Despite fines for overcharging, Dollar General plans to open over 400 new stores nationwide in 2026. Sales growth slowed last year, and the companys stock has dropped, but a new CEO with North Carolina roots may help navigate challenging times.
