 PROFILE
Dollar General's at ease with living off the crumbs of Wal-Mart. The retailer commands a chain of more than 5,100 discount stores in more than 25 states, primarily in the South and Midwest. Offering basic household items such as cleaning supplies and health and beauty aids, as well as some apparel and food, the company targets low-, middle-, and fixed-income customers. Its stores are generally located in small towns off the radar of giant discounters such as Wal-Mart. Its big city stores are located primarily in lower-income neighborhoods. About half of its stores' goods are priced at $1 or less. CEO Cal Turner Jr., grandson of the company's founder, owns about 20% of Dollar General.
