Toby Howell: 在经济不确定时期，Dollar General 表现良好，能够吸引注重价值的购物者。公司通过控制成本和翻新门店来应对关税带来的挑战，并吸引了更多中高收入客户。Dollar General 的成功与 Costco 和 Walmart 类似，它们都在经济困难时期提高了预期。 Neil Freiman: Dollar General 第一季度的新顾客比例达到四年来的最高水平，这主要是因为经济形势的变化。这些新顾客通常是中高收入人群，他们的消费能力更强，对 Dollar General 来说是一个巨大的利好。管理层通过翻新门店和与 DoorDash 合作，进一步提升了购物体验，吸引了更多高收入顾客。
