Company Description
Dollar General's at ease with living off the crumbs of Wal-Mart. The retailer commands a chain of more than 9,800 discount stores in 35 states, primarily in the southern and eastern US, the Midwest, and the Southwest. Offering mostly basic household products, such as cleaning supplies and health and beauty aids, it also peddles seasonal items, apparel, and food. Dollar General typically targets low-, middle-, and fixed-income shoppers. The company's no-frills stores are located in small towns that are off the radar of giant discounters. Some 25% of its merchandise is priced at $1 or less. Two years after being taken private by affiliates of KKR and Goldman Sachs, the chain went public in 2009.
