Read full article: Price gouging concerns hit Tampa ahead of Hurricane Dorian

Tampa (WFTS) - ABC Action News has learned that the Florida Attorney General has already fielded hundreds of complaints about price gouging while people prepare for Hurricane Dorian. A company spokesperson sent ABC Action News a brief statement on Friday after we asked about the price inflation. Doyel also notified the state's price gouging hotline and says she spoke directly with Florida AG Ashley Moody. Individuals or businesses found guilty of price gouging could face fines up to $1,000 per violation, or up to a maximum of $25,000 per day. I have activated Florida's Price Gouging Hotline in an effort to prevent gouging, so Floridians can afford essential items now.

Dollar stores face growing scrutiny

Read full article: Dollar stores face growing scrutiny

Yet a wave of cities and towns have passed laws curbing the expansion of Dollar General and Dollar Tree, which bought Family Dollar in 2015. Advocates of tighter controls on dollar stores say the big chains intentionally cluster multiple stores in low-income areas. Dollar General and its dollar store rivals mostly sell snacks, drinks, canned foods and vegetables, household supplies and personal care products at rock-bottom prices. Dollar stores can open quickly in new areas because they are small and have lower operating costs than grocery stores. Family-owned grocery stores operate at razor-thin profit margins and dollar stores can pressure them with lower prices, experts say.
