# Dollar General: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Dollar General reports revenue across 4 product and service lines in its fiscal 2026 Form 10-K. Consumables is the largest, with $35.1 billion of revenue (82% of the total), followed by Seasonal at $4.3 billion (10%).

## How Does Dollar General Make Money?

Consumables supplies 82% of revenue, so Dollar General's results move mostly with that one business; the others matter more for diversification than for the headline number. Between fiscal 2025 and 2026, Home Products grew fastest (+6.7%) and Apparel slowest (+3.3%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Home Products while that gap lasts.

| Product or service | FY2026 revenue | FY2025 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Consumables | $35.1 billion | $33.4 billion | 82.0% | 5.0% |
| Seasonal | $4.3 billion | $4.1 billion | 10.1% | 6.2% |
| Home Products | $2.2 billion | $2.1 billion | 5.2% | 6.7% |
| Apparel | $1.1 billion | $1.1 billion | 2.6% | 3.3% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Dollar General's reported revenue for fiscal 2026; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Dollar General reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed March 20, 2026 (accession 0001104659-26-032325), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2026; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
