Dollar General is not the same everywhere but the silimarities outweight the differences. It's found in almost every town of any size in rural areas and sometimes it's the only store in town. In Dobson it competes with Family Dollar and the big grocery stores, but it has a good location acorss from the carwash on the main drag and it sells food as well as household stuff and clothes. You can run in and buy some envelopes, chewing gum and floor wax. The people who work there are local and take an interest in the store. It's clean and bright and it's been around for quite a while, outlasting other stores that have closed down.
