Dollar General achieved a noteworthy 5.3% revenue growth in the first quarter, with comparable sales rising 2.4% year-on-year, largely driven by higher-income shoppers. CEO Todd Vasos attributed this success to their delivery initiatives, particularly a partnership with DoorDash, which has attracted a 'new and diverse' set of customers. Enhanced store renovations have also played a role in improving customer experience. Notably, Dollar General remains one of the few retailers offering an extensive range of items for $1 or less, appealing to cost-conscious shoppers during economic uncertainty.
"The incrementality on DoorDash has always been over the top phenomenal," said Todd Vasos on an earnings call Tuesday, highlighting the success of Dollar General's delivery initiatives.
Vasos noted that customers are increasingly "trading in" Dollar General for pricier options, indicating a sustained trend of higher-income shoppers choosing their store.
