CHANGE: The death of the dollar store. “Once a 99 Cents Only store starts selling stuff for a few bucks, its competitive advantage has started to disappear.”

Also: “Others, like Dollar General, say they continue to grow, even if it’s been a rocky road. Dollar General recently opened its 20,000th store and plans to open even more this year.”

There must be an interesting story behind why Dollar General is thriving while the others are failing but KTLA chose not to tell it.
