Drawn from management commentary in the Q2 2026 10-Q:
Net sales increased 3.4% to $10.79B, supported by a 2.0% same-store sales increase and new-store sales, partly offset by store closures. Same-store sales reflected a 1.4% increase in customer traffic and a 0.5% increase in average transaction amount; the higher transaction amount came from higher average retail prices, partly offset by fewer items per transaction.
Gross profit rose 5.5% and gross margin expanded 65 basis points to 31.6%, primarily because of higher inventory markups and lower shrink and damages. Increased markdowns and transportation costs partly offset these benefits; SG&A rose 25 basis points as a percentage of sales to 25.7%, mainly due to depreciation and amortization, utilities, and property taxes.
During Q1 FY2026, Dollar General opened 195 stores, including five in Mexico, remodeled 659 stores through Project Renovate and 711 through Project Elevate, relocated six stores, and closed 33 stores. For fiscal 2026, management plans approximately 450 new U.S. stores, approximately 10 Mexico stores, 4,250 remodels, and 20 relocations, totaling roughly 4,730 real-estate projects.
