probably because their stores have gone to chit (even relative to their own standards just a few years ago). They typically have one unhelpful person.... maybe two....working (and I use "working" loosely as they typically act like they're being held against their will) and there's almost always boxes of unshelved stock laying everywhere and the stores are generally just in a constant state of disarray. They almost always look like they've been ransacked. That's my theory, at least

Probably guilty of over building stores. They are everywhere and that much growth seems not well planned.

Not much of a point of putting one up a block away from a Walmart. As much as I hate Walmart, I hate DG even worse. In a rural area where the next closest grocery store or walmart is 30-45 minutes away, they're a license to print money.

Actually, their business model IS to put their stores between residential areas and the nearest Walmarks.

DG will be fine, and right now its probably a good buy for holding long. The big problem they are having is not caving to the woke Wall Street mob. DG won't put stores in California or in other places that are not business friendly. As a result the Blackrock crowd is punishing them by forcing their stock price down. DG has emphatically stated that it would take three stores in California to make what one store does in Alabama because of California's taxes and regulations. If they put stores in those places, they lose money, if they don't then the blackrock's force their stock price down. Also, they don't put up with the woke product crap. Have you ever seen the DG pride month display? There aint one.

One exception: the DG in Silas on 84 just west of 17. The gals in that place run a tight ship. One of the cleanest, most organized stores of any kind that I've been in post-Covid. Heck, last time I was in there they even had someone's new set of BFG AT/KOs stacked up waiting on pick-up.

I have some DG, right now it's the turd in my punch bowl. I'm thinking bout buying Pfizer . It has 25 of the top 35 drugs on the market and is working on over 100 more , pays a great dividend . Lota the big player talking heads say it's a strong buy. It won't stay down long. DG is already coming back.

Pfizer is at the same price it was in 1998. You would think a drug company would have done better than that but it hasn't. They aint talking about it in the news for obvious reasons, but Pfizer is being sued under the table in several foreign countries for their lies and murders. It would not surprise me a bit if they don't file for bankruptcy. Over here they will just get reduced down to a holding company to settle the money. The labs and research will be sold to the highest bidder and the process will continue.
