Dollar Tree prefers to lease existing
buildings while Dollar General says it
looks for opportunities that can best
meet its customers' needs. Both own
and operate stores rather than fran-
chising and staff the stores with local
hires. New constructs are quick and
easy to build, for a fraction of the cost
of a hulking Walmart.
