The one store that is opening all over the place here in my corner of Alabama is the Dollar General. They are popping up all over the place. Starting out just like Wal Mart did in the beginning with all those small stores all over the place. I was in Germany when Wal Mart first came to our areas here and when I came home all these new stores were around. I asked my mother when those opened and she said last year and the guy who owned them lived in Arkansas. I had never heard of the company until I returned from Germany.
They aren’t from Arkansas, their HQ is in a north Nashville suburb. Their former CEO is now my junior U.S. Senator, David Perdue. He’s been pretty interesting so far, as he learns the ropes. Not beholden to the GOPe.
