In plain English
Dollar General is America's largest small-box discount retailer, with ~20,900 stores — most of them in rural and small-towns too small for a Walmart. It buys branded staples (P&G, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo) and its own private brands like Clover Valley, trucks them through a self-run DG Fresh distribution network, and sells them cheap to budget and fixed-income shoppers. About 82% of sales are low-margin consumables, so it lives or dies on tight costs, shrink control and store count.
