Yes! Dollar General is taking over the world. Wife and I noticed several years ago, they are popping up everywhere. Quick, dirty, convenient.
Dollar Tree, everything for a dollar, although they announced recently, they're going to have to increase the price. Can't blame them. Quick, dirty, but nothing over a dollar means a lot of things missing from the store VS Dollar General and Family Dollar.
Dollar Tree also owns Family Dollar.
Felt bad for a manager over at our local Dollar Tree. Wife and I walked in, the store was a shambles. Boxes half opened all over the isles waiting to be stocked on the shelves. Manager apologized for the mess. Said it was just her and the cashier for the past week. They can't get any employees to show up consistently.
That's the place we go for party decorations, holiday, occasion celebration stuff, etc.
My mother in-law was just over for dinner the other night and we were reminiscing about how old grandma could spend $47 in the Dollar Tree every time she went there!
