Dollar General

Dollar General is an American chain of variety stores founded by James Luther Turner and Cal Turner.
==Early history==
In 1902, James Turner's father died in an accident when James was only 11. He soon quit school to work on his family's farm, providing for his mother and siblings. He became a traveling dry goods salesman for a Nashville wholesale grocer after he failed retail business twice.
During the Great Depression in the 1930s, James began to buy and liquidate bankrupt stores. His son, Cal, accompanied him to these closeouts at a young age, gaining valuable business knowledge and skills.https://www.nytimes.com/2000/11/20/business/cal-turner-85-founded-dollar-general.html
In 1939, the Turners opened J.L. Turner and Son. The switch to retailing resulted in annual sales above $2 million by the 1950s. By the mid-1950s, 35 of their department stores opened in Kentucky and Tennessee.https://www.thestreet.com/video/dollar-general-it-all-started-with-10-000-14918353 In 1955, Cal developed his idea of a retail store selling for only one dollar, based on "Dollar Days" promotions held at other department stores. Turner's Department Store in Springfield, Kentucky, became the first Dollar General Store.https://newscenter.dollargeneral.com/company-facts/dg-history
