Dollar General Getting Into Beer and Wine Biz

August 20, 2010

FROM RETAILWIRE:
Dollar General has done well selling consumables in other categories so why not try its hand at beer and wine? How big a competitive threat do you think dollar stores are to other retail outlets that currently sell beer and wine?      [more...]

4,500 new places to buy beer and wine, easy parking, fast in and out, a destination item, and something your customer is buying some place else.

Good for them and good for their customer.

Interesting to see what it does for the c-store and the drug store distribution channels.
