“Visit on 12/07/25. Cleanest and most well stocked DG ever. Recovery was on point. I'm actually a regular to this store. I would like to add that Lawrence was very helpful and kind. Over all a great experience every time.”
“Nicely stocked, isles were clean and tidy. Great selection of items. I love the DG Markets! All prices are clearly marked, and I really liked some of the end caps have clearanced items. Super easy to run in and grab something to make for dinner or just take your time and look around. Very friendly and helpful employees. Parking lot is great, clean and parking clearly marked.”
“My sister & I live in Midway. We frequent this store often and have found it to be a great place to find all kinds of value buys as well as a helpful and a friendly staff! Certainly, we have ready access to the widely known Giants of retail in Mountain Home such as Walmart "More For Less" ... but have long since discovered the exhausting chaos they put on a person who goes in there. No thank you!!! ??All the people who work at this Dollar General we've met are just great but ... the most outstanding employee is Barb, "hands down"! We never fail to see her stocking, sorting, unloading carts full of heavy merchandise ... and readily there if a customer needs assistance. This woman is amazing! Polished, cheerful, informative and is an exemplary example of someone who not on values their job but her role in supporting the public's retail needs!Today when we came in, Barb was "manning the front register". We were again "caught back" by how clean, well stocked and organized the place was! It usually is but today it felt especially refreshing to shop since we had many, many things to purchase.We're both retired, had businesses thru the years and recognize the tremendous commitment & patience it takes to work retail. In the addition we have homes in, our neighbors also depend on this store. Here's a giant "WELL DONE" to them! Please accept our deep appreciation for their hard work! PS: their obvious commitment extends to following the Covid-19 parameters for safety to the letter! Stay Safe to all!!! ?”
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.

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.
