Happy Friday. Here are the results of this week's SN poll.
Dollar stores have the scale to pick up market share, even from a big gun grocer like Walmart, according to a new report from Bloomberg. The stores have a heavy concentration in the U.S. and are showing no signs of slowing in terms of expansion.
We asked:
Are dollar stores about to move in on market share?
And you answered:
Yep, has been coming for awhile (64%)
No, they can't compete (35%)
Other (1%)

They’ve been in food forever. Their presence is being aided by companies playing to their audiences. My opinion. They will not give shelf space to low margin / competitive lines like Aldi is doing.

As a former Dollar General manager I witnessed customers using my store for odds and end things...stuff to tide families over until their weekly Walmart shopping.
