I don't know if this was posted, but I found it worth the 20 minutes if you have any interest at all.
One of the things I found most interesting was that in some ways, they have more bargaining power than Walmart - because there customer base literally has no other option so they will buy whatever brand DG offers in many cases.
They also go into how it can be negative as well, because they often drive out the last independent grocer, which likely offered fresh foods rather than just packaged stuff that DG offers.
I didn't necessarily agree with their conclusion, which they seemed to be portraying DG as generally a negative phenomenon, but worth a watch IMHO.
