Dollar General Closing Early, Hiring Workers to Meet Coronavirus Demand
Dollar General (NYSE: DG) has been on the front lines of keeping Americans supplied during the coronavirus pandemic. The chain sells needed items including food, cleaning supplies, and other household staples.
It's also well positioned to help a lot of people, since, "approximately 75% of the American population [lives] within five miles of a Dollar General," according to a letter from CEO Todd Vasos.
That has placed a lot of pressure on the chain, which is staying open, but making some changes to keep up with demand.
