“Summerdale, Al. The Staff very friendly and helpful, affordable, convenient, great hours and locations are always convenient, I LOVE my DOLLAR GENERAL STORE!!!❤❤❤❤❤”
“Their employees are awesome! We love Justice in particular, He makes a mundane visit the local dollar store enjoyable and is incredibly knowledgeable of store products and services. Not to mention, the store is always clean and well stocked!”
“They have so much cool stuff and there is a wide variety of things. They have the best candy/sweets section. They have some candy that I cant find anywhere else that I use to eat as a child. There are all kinds of makeup and skincare dupes that are priced much cheaper than you will find anywhere else. The workers are very friendly and extremely helpful as well. This place is a must!!”
“Don’t sleep on this one. If you haven’t been to Checkouts lately then you haven’t been to Checkouts. It’s changing! Imagine if Goodwill, the day-old bread store, and your favorite thrift store had a baby—that is exactly the vibe here. It is fast becoming a treasure hunter's paradise. Thanks to the addition of fantastic new vendor booths, the variety is better than ever. If you love the thrill of the hunt, Checkouts Emporium is an absolute must-visit. You’ve probably driven by it hundreds of times. It’s time to stop in for a treasure hunt. They have recently expanded the space with fantastic new vendor booths, bringing an even wider variety of unique goods, vintage finds, and local treasures to explore. What can you find? Antiques. Furniture. Signs. Candles. Longaberger baskets. Tools. Vinyls. Baseball cards. Pocket knives. Toys. Old lunch boxes. Raggedy Ann & Andy items. Holly Hobbie. Annie. Funko Pop. Tupperware. China and place settings. Fiesta Ware. Cast iron. Homemade items. Jewelry. And lots more. The best part about this place is the consistency—there are daily changes and new items hitting the floor regularly, so it truly feels like a different store every time you walk in. Whether you are a local regular or just passing through, the friendly atmosphere, unbeatable prices, and ever-changing inventory make it impossible to leave empty-handed. Highly recommended!”
“It's a great place to shop when you on a fixed income and have to make every dollar count.Its especially nice to be able to shop for birthday cards, gift bags and etc.”
“Friendly Staff,Very well stocked has turned into my go to place instead of Crowded Crazy Wal-Mart to get run out of items from the Pantry and fresh Produce/bananas!”
“If you been in one they are pretty much the same. They should have to legally changed their name. They are not a dollar store. You have to pay attention you maybe paying 5 dollars or more for something you used to get for a dollar.”
“Thankful they were open this morning on Thanksgiving as my can opener stopped working. However, I hope they are not open all day so the employees can spend time with their families today.”
“This is the nicest, most organized Dollar General I’ve ever patronized. I live within walking distance so ever since they opened, I have frequented this store at least 1-3x a week on average. I have witnessed their growth & progress as they have transitioned into a unified, professional, & effective team. Regarding the comment about the shelves being bare: Considering they literally opened their doors during the very first Stay at Home Order (April or May of 2020), when literally ALL stores were experiencing bare shelves, I feel they’ve done really well for themselves overall. But either way, I haven’t seen any bare shelves since lol.”
“Friendly helpful staff. Store is always clean. When this DG gets busy the associates are quick to move the line. If I had to wait it was les than a couple minutes. I like this DG cause I can be in and out quickly,find what I need quickly .”
“Best dollar general in robertsdale imo. The remodel of the store they had a few years ago took time getting used to but it's easier navigating than it was. The employees are friendly and helpful (even though I hate asking for help xD); I would recommend this store to anyone.”
“I love shopping at the store on 181 in Daphne. The staff are all extremely helpful and very poliet. They do their best to keep it neat and orderly even when they are short staffed and very busy.”
“I like going into this family dollar. The employees are always helpful. I was able to find the item that I was looking for. They always have some nice tank tops too for the summer.”
“A really nice Dollar General, with an expanded grocery section. Tiffany and Nancy are really sweet, too! This store is not only bigger and better staffed, but it seems cleaner and more spacious, too. Just be sure to look at the dates on foods, sometimes there’s expired stuff on the shelves. Not as bad as the other dollar stores in the area, but I’ve found a few things here and there.”
“Ive been to 6 different DG's in the area. They all have a few different items. Most employees are nice and friendly. There is one store that needs a little advice on how to smile, and act just a little more happy to see customers.”
“Plan to spend more than a dollar, but it is convenient if you need an item or two and don't want to go to the grocery store. They carry a lot of stuff and frozen fast food, good milk ! Dog supplies too!”
“Believe it or not I was in and out pretty quick. There were only 2 people in front of me. This DG actually has friendly knowledge people working here unlike some DG locations. I shop this location often and never have any issues unlike many of other DG stores.”
“I went in yesterday to get a few things and the lady that checked me out was so nice. I didn’t get her name, but she’s an older lady with short brown hair and glasses. Kind enough for me to leave a review!”
“As hard as the women in the elberta store are working, the holidays with all the congestion, these women make sure they are tidy and clean. I don't go top any other dollar store. Thank you ladies, you are appreciated”
“The building is in a complete dead zone for my cell service, so this is the perfect place to spend a few hours of peace and relaxation browsing the wonders contained within. My wife HATES when I go here. Sometimes a man just needs that DG R&R.”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026. The company calls this makeover "Store Experience 2.0." Gone are the cramped aisles and confusing layouts that once defined discount shopping. Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
Dollar General is adding more of its private label food offerings to stores, following similar moves by big retailers like Walmart and Amazon as store brands keep growing in popularity. The store is launching new items under its own labels, including ice cream, cinnamon rolls, coffee syrups, and salad dressings. The move comes as store brand sales reached $271 billion in 2024, up nearly 4% from 2023.

Dollar Tree is moving into 170 former 99 Cents Only stores, marking a big shift in the discount retail landscape. The company announced Wednesday it's taking over leases in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas, with plans to reopen the stores under its own brand as early as fall 2024.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet just landed a great deal of its own, winning a $14.6 million bankruptcy auction for 11 former 99 Cents Only store locations across Texas. The discount retail chain pounced after 99 Cents Only abruptly went out of business in March, shuttering all 371 of its stores in California, Arizona, Texas, and Nevada. Ollie's quickly made an opening "stalking horse bid" to grab over a dozen of the empty properties.
