Maybe it's just because of my two state area (TX-LA), but I have never seen beer sold at a Dollar General. Interesting.
Hadn’t noticed it before my last visit to one in North Texas. Piled up near the checkout. On the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever seen eggs. No coolers in that one - the beer was just on the floor.
The Dollar General store in my neighborhood sells more groceries than anything else. When the local Piggly Wiggly closed, the Dollar General couldn’t keep groceries on the shelves. They even sell dairy, eggs, meat and frozen foods.
My Dollar Tree has a huge wall of frozen foods. One I stopped at in Sugar Land has none which really surprised me. Seems like inventories are not all the same.
Our family has managed to survive with just visits to the Dollar Tree and Kroger for the last four months. Went into Dollar General and found their prices a lot higher for like products. Cannot do brand comparison because their brands are all different, but no alcohol anywhere. Maybe because it is Texas or local laws prevent?

It might be there but not in a prominent spot.
When you walk into most stores the stores layout tends to lead you to the right because that is how most people shop.
Here they keep the beer on the left wall to the entrance (the last place a normal shopper would look but a quick spot for someone coming in for it to grab because it is near the cashiers.
For a long time I never noticed it myself and then I noticed someone buying it and said something to the cashier about having no idea that they sold beer.
Cashier tells me that they sell tons of it , especially on Sundays , that the store is located about 50’ beyond the dry areas for selling beer on Sunday mornings.
