Making billions at the dollar store



The boxy, brick-fronted shop in the town square of Scottsville, Ky. (population: 4,500), is one of the oldest stores in the Dollar General chain — and it looks its age. The aisles are cluttered; the ceilings are low; the lights are dim. There are rows of plastic storage containers, towers of paper towels and fridges full of frozen pizzas — the kind of seemingly random, dirt-cheap bric-a-brac that fits the drab dollar-store stereotype.
