  • Dollar General’s CEO is preparing for a weaker economy in 2019.
  • CEO Todd Vasos said on Thursday that the store’s core customer is “feeling a little less competent” than 2018. “We’re positioning ourselves for the back half of the year for a weaker consumer.”
  • The chain is still growing at a rapid rate. Having opened hundreds of stores in 2017 and 2018, it will be opening 975 more in 2019.
