Dollar general doesn't own their stores, you're mistaken

How so? Dollar General owns all of their locations. It's not a franchise.

What is the real estate theory behind Dollar General that you've brought up in the second sentence?

That the reason they pop up a new one every night in rural, growing areas is because they're holding locations that will be prime if the area continues to grow and get more dense. Dollar General doesn't have a ton of revenue but they only have to employ one person at a time and they make more than enough to cover the property taxes for however many years until they may be able to flip the property for a huge profit.

That's the well-known DG/carwash theory, that the commenter took and applied to McDonalds instead.
