Video is from CNBC and talks about some of the challenges facing dollar stores.

Some metrics from the video

                  Dollar Tree       Family Dollar     Dollar General
Consumable           47%                80%                 81%
Discretionary        53%                20%                 19%

Imported Products    41%                15%                  4%

The implications are that Dollar General won't face the same headwinds with potential tariffs as Dollar Tree.
