Dollar General operates 20,000+ small-format discount stores across rural and low-income communities in 48 states. It sells everyday consumables (food, cleaning supplies, health and beauty products), plus seasonal goods, basic home items, and apparel — mostly to budget-conscious shoppers with limited access to larger retailers. Around 80% of what it sells is consumables, making it closer to a small grocery/convenience store than a traditional "dollar store." Revenue comes purely from retail sales, with private-label products accounting for over 20% of the mix, which typically carry better margins than national brands.
