No, Dollar General! In 1955 a new idea was born – the dollar store – and all the stores in their growing fold soon were converted and the Dollar General name was born.
So, what kind of items can you find at Dollar General?
Because Dollar General was founded exclusively as a dollar store, many of their items are still priced at a dollar or less.
Dollar General clearly states on their website that they serve lower and lower-middle income customers. The store sells both items.
Many small towns that would probably not be served by a larger retailer usually have a Dollar General store present.
Do I recommend Dollar General? No, I don’t purchase many of their store labeled items for reasons mentioned earlier.
