Financial Health at Dollar General

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing the financial performance of Dollar General, the leading competitor in its category. Opening 2 stores daily, the company will have 7,400 stores open by the end of 2004. Despite its success, Dollar General does not appear to be managed closely enough. It has large cash reserves and no debt, but its current ratio is twice that which reflects optimal capital structure. Only 2 of its 4 primary product categories are successful across the chain, and it is woefully behind in implementation and use of technological tools. The company would be well advised to give more balanced attention to the stores it is now so adept at opening quickly. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
