Dollar General Has Cracked the Code to Rural America

December 5, 2017 By Young Research

Proper location and the right product mix has given Dollar General just what it needs to appeal to shoppers in rural America. They want smaller sizes than they get at giant big box stores, and the convenience of a store nearby. The Wall Street Journal's Sarah Nassauer notes that as rural America struggles, Dollar General's customer base grows. She writes: Dollar General is expanding because rural America is struggling.

The Financial Times' Anna Nicolaou reports on the efforts of retailers to bring in foot traffic: On the fourth floor of the Tiffany flagship store overlooking Central Park, Audrey Hepburn fans can now recreate her famed breakfast for $29.
