    Do the colors mean something or are they just there to show the states?

    Dollar General’s strategy is genius. My parents live in rural Mississippi. You’ll be driving in the middle of no where and then suddenly there’s a Dollar General.

    This is my last name of the year, I wanted to make a fun map highlighting the [four color thereom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_color_theorem) on a store I am sure all Americans know about! Thank you all for feedback this year! I am applying it and will try to keep posting everyday as long as I have data to make a map a day! Happy New Year!

    Man, it seems like living in MN/ND area, I would see these crappy operations everywhere, compared to other states, we haven’t even begun to descend into madness. Only places around here I have ever heard the news actually reporting about unsafe conditions.

  5. Not enough ones in Tennessee. I swear, there are 2 DG’s on every street corner

    You drop a dollar general receipt and a store grows out the ground

    It looks like the map is about to tell Mr. Stark it doesn’t feel so good

  7. It would be interesting to see this underlaid with food deserts, state by state

    I don’t get why there are always people in these stores. I can drive more than 20 miles in any direction without passing by at least 2 of these stores (I live in rural OK) and there are ALWAYS people going in and out of them. I’ve been to it a couple of times and I just don’t get what people are buying every day. Candy? Pop? A single roll of paper towels? I just don’t get it.

    What tool or API do you use to get the store directory into locations?

    Look up “Dollar General Corp. v. Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians”

    In my American Indian Law course, our professor gave us what we presumed was a fictional case. (He changed the names to fictional/generic ones.) All semester we had assignments and discussions about it. At the end of the semester, he revealed it was a real case. We were all shocked. Because of this, I’ve never set foot in a Dollar General and never will. We didn’t have any in my area at the time, but now there are at least 2.
