LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Dollar General seems to be the new Starbucks with new stores popping up on every street corner. The company recently opened store number 10,000 with 625 more planned for construction.

Unlike the Starbucks chain, customers won't spend high prices on coffee or anything else in the stores including top brand items recently added along with coolers to now sell milk and eggs and other basic need perishables.

Tawn Earnest is Senior Director of Corporate Communications at Dollar General. She says the economy has been a driving force for new customers to the store.  

"Saving money never goes out of style," Earnest said. "Our company has built a model more relevant than others because we focused on keeping prices low."

She says even though stores are small, Dollar General has more retail locations across the country than any other retailer in America.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A warning has been issued for online shoppers.

The Better Business Bureau has put out a warning that scammers are using emails that look like an order cancellation notice from Amazon.com.

According the  BBB the emails contain address such as order-update@amazon.com, and contains the subject line "Your Cancellation" and an order number. The email tells the recipient that "your order has been successfully canceled" and provides a summary of the order.

Amazon said if you receive an email with an eight digit cancellation number to delete it. They also recommend that you double check where your email came from by hovering your mouse over the sender.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Storm chasers on the road to make a buck at your expense are in the metro and throughout the state.

In some cases, homeowners who've signed a contract may be forced to pay up even if they don't have wind or hail damage. However, a new bill passed by the Kentucky General Assembly may offer a little more protection.

Legislators passed House Bill 421, a new law aimed to give residents more consumer protection.

"They're making these decisions when they're under the most distress, right after a storm," Rep. Steve Riggs said.

Those shady storm chasers and their fine print - once you commit, it may be tough to quit. Some contracts require a 20% payment of the estimate if the homeowner chooses to cancel the agreement.
