Introduction

Reportedly citing "about a 20% decrease in profits last quarter," per a September 4th report from The-Sun.com, a major Brooklyn, New York Dollar General store will soon be permanently closing.

It should be noted some of the store's regular shoppers have taken to Facebook to say theft is the real reason behind the closure.

The store is located at Avenue D and East 46 Street, in Brooklyn's Flatbush section.

For perspective, per ScrapeHero.com's most recently updated store location count: There are 20,155 Dollar General stores in the United States as of August 27, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of Dollar General locations in the US is Texas, with 1,866 stores, which is about 9% of all Dollar General stores in the US.

Let us explore.

Dollar General, 2024

According to the aforementioned September 4th report from The-Sun.com, a liquidation sale is presently ongoing for the closing location.

As excerpted from the report: It's unclear exactly when the Brooklyn Dollar General will close for good after the liquidation sales. The location remains open for the time being as it sells the remainder of its inventory, per Dollar General's website.

No replacement entity has yet been announced for the closing location.
