“Cheapest gas along this stretch of 1-40 and pristine restrooms. Also, the young lady with the long beautiful hair who helped us was so sweet and welcoming. Thank you! Very well stocked Dollar General, the best we've encountered ever. Stop here for gas and snacks along 1-40. Worth it to go 2 extra mins off the beaten path.”
“So happy that we have some produce (sometimes) and some salad, potatoes, meats, etc - We have needed it, ever since our grocer closed. The store is clean- and some things stay stocked - YET- other sections seem to NEVER get stocked - & other sections SELDOM get stocked- idk why...... The EMPLOYEES ARE ALWAYS FRIENDLY & HELPFUL! The things that are in stock, seem to get onto the shelves in a reasonable amount of time. (I used to work at the Mtburg DG, back not too long after it just opened - (the 1st one) The SELF CHECKOUT was SO AWESOME - But it got closed down COMPLETELY- due to some apparent SHOPLIFTERS - Apparently it will NEVER be reopened - after spending all the money to get them put in- we have to wait in ONE long line for the ONE checker - while we stare at all 4 of the SELF CHECKOUT registers ??? I wish they would set up security cameras to take care of security so we can USE the SELF CHECKOUT!!! ?! (HINT HINT) because somehow- all the other stores can police their merchandise..... Walmart records everything ! Please tell the district manager to FIND THE BUDGET FOR SOME SECURITY CAMERAS!? The Arts & Crafts supplies - I have purchased MANY of those supplies, myself, & NONE of those items have ever been replaced, in MONTHS & MONTHS ??? It makes me sad-”
“This Dollar general is in a really small town so when you go there you have everything to pick from and nothing's missing from the shelves so you can go in there and get whatever you need most of the time and the staff is friendly and it's just overall clean store”
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.
Daiso, the beloved Japanese retailer known for its variety of affordable household goods, is expanding further in the U.S. market.

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.
