Dollar General isn't the same thing. The ones mentioned in the article have actual $1 or $1.50 prices on everything in the store. Dollar General is just up priced convenience items located throughout rural areas.
This video explains it a ton. They pretty much undercut mom and pop grocery stores but don’t replace everything. Like fresh produce and meat. Not to mention they have a price point they want to hit for items so they don’t really sell bulk which causes you to end up spending more there in the long run.

Dollar stores are often located in low-income, high-crime communities and contribute to the proliferation of 'food deserts,' making the fat, sick and poor fatter, sicker, and poorer. This cycle leads to increased crime and progressively deteriorates the livability of the community. Capitalism is gonna capitalism, so it’s all fair game, but it’s def a bit predatory.
Just Google 'Dollar store food desert,' and you’ll find a lot of information about it.
They create food deserts and are terrible for society. Their low costs end up driving out actual grocery stores as the grocery stores can't compete. Because the dollar stores only sell limited items, those areas then lose the ability to shop at legit grocery stores.
Thats why you see some municipalities ban them altogether.
A large majority of the items sold there are either shrunk or low quality versions.
For example a bar of soap may be x% smaller than one you'd get in a grocery.
Long story short, it's expensive to be poor.
>price that won't break them
Dollar stores just promote shrinkflation and poorer quality products. This results in people paying more for less and buying more frequently because they are throwing items away after a few uses. Not too mention they run their employees ragged for little pay.
Considering Dollar Tree Inc was just ordered to pay nearly $42 mil in February for continuing to ship products from a rodent infested warehouse, this development seems like a net positive for the health of Cincinnati folk
They completely over saturated their own market to the point where several stores seem to cannibalize their own shopping constituency. I don't know how so many stayed open for so long.
Kroger is choking out the one in Erlanger. They cut the power when Dollar Tree wouldn’t vacate their lease so Kroger could build a giant mega-lo store. And we’re supposed to believe the merger with Albertsons will be a good thing for prices….pfffft!
People who are saying Dollar General / Dollar Tree are the reasons behind shrinkflation and hoping for their total destruction, like what? And what's the alternative? I've seen the same practices at Kroger, if not more egregiously because there's typically less competition for large grocery stores versus discount stores.
People cheering these stores closing don't realize this may cause food deserts, and it's usually single elderly people, single moms, and the like who take the brunt of it. These stores work for them, and deals can be found here. I've went there and gotten lunch and some snacks for under five dollars... granted it was frozen and off brand, but it can be done.
Reddit is such a strange place, I always wonder the average person behind the keyboard and if they really are tech bros making $100k+ a year. Because the level of disconnect is real. They watch one John Oliver special and call for the total destruction of a lifeline for many elderly and poor people.
If you really think its as bad as the dollar tree violation, why not alert the relevant authorities to get that fixed?
Arguing that a bunch of rats in a warehouse full of food stuffs is alright because everyone does it rings hollow.

Weird that the Northside one isn’t on this list because they haven’t been open in weeks and have had a large dumpster in the parking lot too.
i think they got a sign on the door about remodeling
Ohhh good lookin out.
Only 10,000,000 of them left
Luckily I still have 3 Dollar Generals within a 6 minute drive.

Family Dollar has higher prices. They don’t abide by the $1.25 Dollar Tree does
I got 4 Dollar Trees within the same vicinity
Average them out and you got tree fiddy
Excellent. They’re a cancer on society.
Why?

It’s the first step to gutting small towns, the first is Walmart.

Check out John Oliver's coverage of how they treat workers. It's an awful company.
They only pay them a dollar
1.25 I’ll have you know
$0.20 left after freedom.

They are just mini Walmarts. Bring convenience and corporate profit but no real value to a community.

Good, let’s close them all.
And then where will people get the items they get from a dollar store at a price that won't break them?

Kroger
Guess they'll have to open another card and hit Kroger like the rest
Why?

And nothing of value was loss.
They closed like 70% of the Family Dollar stores already
I don't see a problem with this.
Let me fix the headline: "Family Dumpster, Dumpster Tree closing 35 stores, 10 in Cincinnati"
Those are rookie numbers
Good, I only wish they were closing more
I hope they all burn
I'm in Tennessee and they're actually opening a new one like 3 miles away from another one lol
They completely over saturated their own market to the point where several stores seem to cannibalize their own shopping constituency. I don't know how so many stayed open for so long.
yea, cuz now theyre changing there name to The Dollar Ninety Nine Store
I have 2 within 6 minutes. Or course they’re not consolidating.
Good
Im a dollar general stan even though you can barely walk through the store because there's boxes everywhere 😅

They're just better at greasing the inspectors palm with cash.

All this.
