I love dollar general stores wherever they're located! What I like the most of this brand, is no matter what state they're in, they have a strong presence in the local economies whether rich, middle class, or poor. Because of health issues, in 2013 I became one of the multitudes of homeless military veterans.
The Obama initiative to provide housing, better more thorough medical & mental healthcare for all of us military veterans was my starting point for regaining dignity & getting reintegrated with society. But it was this brand , Dollar General, that impacted me almost as much. At the age of 54,I had lost everything- my car, my clothes, pictures of children, etc. You know the routine.
After getting rehoused I still had to get food, toiletries, & things to put in my apt. The bigger chain stores were usually quite a distance away from my place which made shopping them difficult.
Thank God for Dollar General ! I could get my food & other things & they are close enough to my place so that I can walk there, shop, & carry back my stuff without ending up in the hospital everytime I do. Sorry for being long winded, I just wanted to impress upon others what Dollar General means to me.
