From the Paper:

"Dollar General goes through a process of choosing a suitable location before deciding on where to open a store. The location has to have certain criteria or requirements in terms of demographics and the assistance of software to be used for this purpose. An example of the standards that a Dollar General store requires in terms of its location necessitates the requirement that there be at least eight thousand people who are having family incomes of thirty thousand or less and who reside within a distance of one mile radius in urban areas and in the case of rural areas they have to be within a distance of ten mile radius. Dollar General then decides on a suitable site in this area and might develop the area by self or would decide to lease suitable buildings within a prescribed price range."
