	Description:		The most common store in the U.S.? It's not Target, not Walmart, or Walgreens. It's Dollar General. The chain boasts more than 19,000 locations across the country. According to the American Public Health Association, dollar stores are the fastest-growing food retailers in the country, but they don't usually provide the same amount of fresh produce as conventional grocery stores. Now, dozens of cities are moving to limit the number of dollar stores opening in their communities. We discuss the playbook city reps are using to regulate their local market. This show is part of 1A's "Remaking America" project looking at how our government is – and is not – working for everyone. Want to support 1A?
