the end endgame


The Economist magazine had a good report on the proliferation of discount chain stores like Dollar General. For better or worse, this retail model may be the final model of the American shopping experience. The very wealthy will have a few boutique locations, and Amazon. The middle class will have Amazon. The poor will have Dollar General, and Amazon. Even Wal-Mart will throw in the towel. If things reach that point the Dollar Stores will even be able to get rid of their signs.
