Smaller Format Stores

March 11, 2014

Smaller format stores are all the rage these days.  Dollar General, which already operates nearly 12,000 stores, plans to open 700 more  this year.  Walmart recently announced plans to accelerate growth of its smaller format stores by opening between 270 and 300 small stores, more than double the 120 to 150 store range it projected last fall.  Even Target has gotten in on the action with plans to open its first Target Express store near downtown Minneapolis this summer.
