Dollar General’s 0.6% Surge and 352nd Volume Rank Fuel Delivery Expansion with Uber Eats

On August 8, 2025, Dollar General (DG) closed with a 0.60% gain, trading with a daily volume of $0.28 billion, ranking 352nd in the stock market. The retailer announced a strategic partnership with Uber Eats to expand its delivery capabilities, a move expected to enhance customer access to essentials and food items.

Dollar General and Uber Eats have integrated over 14,000 Dollar General and pOpshelf locations into the Uber Eats platform, enabling on-demand delivery of groceries and household goods starting August 8. The collaboration aims to address growing consumer demand for convenience and speed, with customers able to order via the Uber Eats app and track real-time deliveries. Dollar General’s Chief Marketing Officer emphasized that the partnership aligns with the company’s mission to provide affordable, accessible services to communities.

Uber’s Groceries & Retail head highlighted the partnership as a response to evolving retail dynamics, allowing Dollar General to extend its presence in the on-demand economy. Promotional offers, including a 40% discount for initial orders, are expected to drive short-term engagement. The initiative reflects a broader trend of retailers leveraging third-party logistics to meet shifting consumer expectations.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day delivered a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark return of 29.18% by 137.53%. This underscores the role of liquidity concentration in short-term stock performance, particularly in volatile markets. However, such strategies are better suited for short-term trading rather than long-term investment due to their reliance on market dynamics and liquidity-driven momentum.
