I’m in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota and have at least four different small grocers within 500m. At 2km, I have at least four supermarkets and dozens of smaller options. Minnesota is also weird in how much fresh produce gas stations have because no one wants to make two stops in winter. Overall, Dollar General is actually pretty uncompetitive comparatively.
Atlanta is an outlier because of low population density. Additionally, the poor in Atlanta are brutally poor. Income disparity is pretty crazy. $5.15 is the state minimum wage.

Not that it really matters because both are obscenely low, but national minimum wage is like 7.35, so that’s the lowest it can be.
Only for employers subject to FLSA. Tipped employee minimum wage is $2.13.
Yeah, but anything short of the 7.35 has to be made up by the employer.
