I am told that “dollar stores” are doing pretty well too.
Wal-Mart competes with that segment, but they tend to be awkwardly large to shop if you are a dollar shopper.

Yes, family dollar stores, which are like a small version of Walmart are going in all over the place in our area. I have to admit they are great to have and the prices are great too. It’s 35 miles to the nearest Walmart. By the time you add in the gas it’s almost cheaper to go to the local “expensive” grocery store.
Dollar stores are weird. You can get some bargains, but other items are offered in strange little sizes to even out the price point: e.g. a box of cake mix that bakes exactly six cupcakes.
