They sell good quality pens too. I shop there.

This trend is due to Hispanics

Unassimilated/illegal Mexicans love dollar stores. They can walk to these in their shitty neighborhoods in cities while walmarts are restricted to suburbs

Dollar General has also been on a campaign for years to place stores in rural areas where the Walmart is in another town. The rural stores have been fueling a lot of growth.

I wonder if it'd be ethical to write a what-to-do-if-you-get-in-a-car-accident "article" (advertisement), have it translated into Spanish, and pay dollar stores in the area to stock free copies of it in the automotive section.

they tailor their promotional flyers to attract people into the store by selling household essentials at a slight loss (e.g., 75 fl oz of tide for $0.11/fl oz when walmart sells it for $0.16/fl oz) and making up for it by selling soda/junk food at slightly higher margins (e.g., two 9.5 oz bags of lay's chips for $5 when walmart sells two for $4.80).

Hint: The price of purchasing an item of shelf price $n is $n + $t. $t is independent from the economies of scale of the store; has a higher floor for blue collar workers; and is taxed in a regressive manner.

Dollar stores are typically much much smaller with much less variety than Walmart. Ex: Walmart has a whole row with a hundred different kinds of cereal. Dollar store has just a few generic brands. Dollar stores have higher sales/sqft as a result.

Walmart also tend to be cleaner and better maintained. Every dollar store I've ever been in looks like it was just victimized in the LA Riots

i've read that the growing number of dollar stores is putting pressure on smaller retail outlets like smaller city convenience stores, which usually trade higher prices for being closer to people's residences by limiting lot sizes and keeping stock quantities fairly low. and they have responded by relying more on shadier gray-market stuff like kratom or even "bath salts," focusing more on booze and cigs, and (oddly enough) biting a bit into the drugstore/medical supply business by selling common but semi-specialty items like expanded ranges of sleeping pills.

I find Aldi deeply depressing. It seems as if they intentionally make it shitty.

The shelves are sparsely stocked with off-brand products and many shelves are bare.
