I agree, at least in my area.

Two neighboring dollar stores just went out of business in a town I commute through. The culprit? A new Harp's grocery store a block away.

The dollar store in my town is barely holding on - the competition? A Walmart across the street.

Sure. Because they were driving 25 minutes each way to the nearest Walmart to do their shopping, not 5 minutes down the street.
