In this Placer Bytes, we analyze Dollar General and Dollar Tree ahead of their upcoming earnings. The early sentiment? The value model looks to be a powerful combination of short term success and long term potential.

The short term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the primary focus, and with good reason. But, with states beginning to loosen restrictions and retail showing signs of a recovery, there are changes to consumer behavior that could have potentially long-lasting ramifications.

Walmart and Target have been two of the more significant retailers to track during the pandemic because of their essential retail status.
