Dollar General is testing same-day delivery to customers’ homes as the deep discounter tries to fend off fiercer competition with Walmart.
On an earnings call Thursday, Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos said the retailer “soft launched” the delivery program in September.
Now it offers same-day delivery at about 75 stores, he said.
Yet over the past year, Dollar General has felt the pinch from both economic challenges and its own strategy.
But the option is still available at only a tiny fraction of Dollar General’s stores.
