Many of these stores need to die. Dollar General, CVS (the Walmart of drug stores. What a dump), and Best Buy are the worst of the worst and dug their own holes. As much as I'd like to see Target and Walmart disappear, I doubt that it'll happen, although a complete restructuring of their executive suites should occur.
I agree. There was a CVS near me that I could have walked to and I only went there once and never went back. Dollar Gens have always been the dumpiest of dumps. The Target near me went full on commie during the plandemic and I haven’t been back. They all suck, Walmart sucks the most but people don’t have enough options, unfortunately.
All true, and Walmart is probably the biggest reason that those options don't exist. In that, they completely succeeded.
Target and Menard's both went off the deep end; the former with the wokeness bullshit, and the latter with the covid tyranny. I avoid both now.
Other than the prefab buildings that pop up in more rural towns, has there ever been a DG that hasn't been put in an old Burger King, Hardee's, dead strip mall, etc?
CVS might as well become a police station now, with as many calls to break up fights, violent "customers", and other problematic people calls that they get...
A lot of people in my area love Dollar General. They are popping up all over the place here in eastern NC. I got my wife a cell phone a few years ago at Dollar General for $19.99, and it lasted for a few years. Great deal.
Yep. Going the way of Radio Shack (R.I.P.), who made the same mistakes and ventured too far from how they were originally founded. It makes good business sense to evolve with the times, but sometimes it goes way too far...
The Radio Shack in my town turned into a mostly cell phone outlet store. The clerks knew phones, but nothing else. Only a small part of the store had parts, antennas, etc. They used to carry computers, stereos, etc. I bought my first big computer there, a Tandy 3000NL.
