Same-store sales increased by 21.7% driven by increases in both average transaction amount and customer traffic. Same-store sales increased in each of the consumables, seasonal, home products, and apparel categories, with the largest percentage increase in the home products category.
While the company expects it will exceed the fiscal 2020 net sales, same-store sales, and diluted EPS guidance, Dollar General is withdrawing the previous guidance due to lack of visibility for the balance of the year. However, the company still expects capital expenditures to be $925-975 million, including those related to investments in its strategic initiatives.
