Dollar General Expands Its Reach — 450 New U.S. Stores Fuel The Next Growth Phase!
Dollar General Corporation reported its second quarter fiscal 2026 results with a 5.2% increase in net sales to $11.3 billion, driven by a 3.5% growth in same-store sales. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter of customer traffic improvement, with traffic rising 2% and average basket size increasing 1.5%. The company gained market share in both consumable and nonconsumable categories, with nonconsumables outpacing consumables for the sixth straight quarter. The strong sales performance was supported by broad-based category growth and an expanding $1 price point offering, which contributed to comp sales increases exceeding 16% in those items. Delivery sales, through platforms such as myDG Delivery, DoorDash, and Uber Eats, contributed approximately 40 basis points to comp sales and have attracted new customers to Dollar General’s stores. Gross profit margin expanded by 127 basis points to 32.
