Given the saturation already...

Anecdotal...went to get my kid from an event the other day and counted the Dollar General stores I passed on the 15-minute drive. I counted 4. And this is hardly a food desert. We have Costco, Sams, Wal Marts, Krogers, Targets, Meijer and a new Aldi (in half an old Kroger building, the other half is to be a shooting range).

Mrs.C is the shopper. She won't set foot in a DG. Occasionally looks for some item at DLTR or WMT. Normally shops at Kroger and Target. Surprisingly, likes the new Aldi.

On a recent trip to Montreal, I came across an Alimentation Couche-Tard convenience store while out walking. It looked dirty and a bit scary and I didn't go in.
I got gas at our local Circle-K once. The new Kroger gas station across the street is cheaper.

Retail is a funny business.
