Surprised Walmart didn't jump in on this business model, surely they have more buying power than the dollar stores.


Always surprises me at the assumptions so many people make.

quote:

Dollar General has a smaller selection of products in its stores. It stocks, on average, between 10,000 to 12,000 unique products or SKUs, while a supercenter like Walmart would have around 60,000 SKUs, for example.

Carrying a limited number of items gives Dollar General more buying power with its suppliers as it buys fewer types of products in bulk.
