“BEWARE PARKING IS CAMERA ENFORCED!!!!! The Goodwill is great but as most people thrifting are probably lower income like me, getting fined $60 for parking for 5 minutes in the LAZ lot is probably not what you want. Watch out.”
“First time visiting. I stopped in while waiting for a reservation at a nearby ramen restaurant on a Sunday night around 7 PM. The store was very clean, well-organized, and visually appealing. It was refreshing to see a wide variety of unique household items, including many products from Japan. The layout was easy to navigate, and everything was neatly displayed. It felt similar to a HomeGoods-style store, but with a Japanese twist. I didn’t Purchase anything while I was there so I couldn’t speak on the pricing. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend it, especially for first-time visitors.”
“I’ve been shopping at Grocery Outlet Point Loma for years. They consistently have an excellent selection of organic produce, quality meats, and occasional hard-to-find items like New Zealand lamb. The red wine selection is surprisingly good, and there’s a gentleman there who is always helpful with recommendations and questions. I always check the first couple aisles for practical kitchen gadgets and usually leave with a few greeting cards for the year ahead. Fair prices, friendly staff, and a well-run store. Hard to ask for much more than that.”
“This is my new favorite store. Everything is reasonably priced and they have really cute stuff! I got PJs, makeup bags, car accessories,tarot cards, tech stuff, The items they sell aren't crappy like at the dollar store. My.son even bought me a Monopoly game from here. They also have snacks, drinks, candy, arts & crafts supplies, just overall a really fun store to browse through. I'm addicted.”
“Not many places like this left, please support them. Staff has always been nice to me. Wish they’d stop selling pipes/blowtorches and such though, encourages use.”
“I've been to 90 percent of grocery outlet stores in San Diego and this one is on my top 3...well stocked unique products fresh produce will definitely come back again”
“Had to stop by here today. Big smiles, right!? The usual suspects up to their usual shenanigans. The customer service here is effective in a way that goes beyond produce and clean aisles. The employees here fulfill roles with character that contribute to community positively. Adding on to that are great prices store wide. Lucky to have you all around! Thank you. Cheers! ??”
“The tacos here are very good I tried 3 tacos de cabeza and 2 tacos de carne asada. The guy is here from 7:30am til 9pm hard worker and good quality food his station was clean towards the end of the day too”
“Great place for San Diego/old town souvenirs at great prices! Got the magnet and shot glass (real glass) for $3.50 each. Docked a star because this is impossible to park near if you have a car as it’s in an extremely busy part of town.”
“Too bad I live in LA or else I'd be here everyday!!! Food was a 10/10 and the workers at the deli have the best energy and make the best-est sandwiches ??”
“Some of the best employees in the area. I'm a frequent customer of theirs and they're very much familiar with me at this point. They have right about anything you need and the employees are just the greatest human beings. Keep up the great work!”
“Cool store....not everything is .99 cents. The prices are on the items if it's not a dollar. Has a little bit of pretty much everything imaginable!! Except NO ICE! They don't sell ice!! Oh and milk...only sell boxed milk. However they do put it in the fridge so its cold. Too expensive though in my opinion...$2.99 for a quart. If I remember correctly it's half of a half gallon for $3, I think that's too much! Other than that the ice in the milk the store is really cool! It has clothes, underwear, socks, hats, all snacks cookies crackers, cooking oils, bathroom amenities, cooking pots pans, even home decor! If you've never been it's worth going to check it out!”
“This Thrift Shop is Amazing! They have the cutest clothes, yummy food, super cute trinkets and even live music at night! Keep an eye out for the awesome art on the walls!”
“I just left to pick up some cleaning supplies and Aaron at the register was so nice, happy and positive! It was such a great interaction with a cash register employee. You just don't get that these days- thanks Aaron! **give this guy a raise and promotion! **”
“Every time I come in here, Alex is always the most kind and patient employee behind the register. Make this man a manager if he isn’t. He is an employee that exhibits great attitude and integrity and respect for the folks who walk through those doors. Give him a raise or I’ll hire him myself.”
“Stopped here during our family vacation to pick up some essential. We can always count on Dollar Tree whenever we need something we may have forgotten at home or need while we're on our trip. The customer service was great, the staff were friendly and helpful.”
“i look forward to seeing the suprise goodies at dollar tree, but sadly through research i was made aware how the street people are almost stealing them out of business, which i was through my research caused the neighborhood walmart to pack up leave and close down, which i looked forward to doing my weekly shoping, which walmart called it the store was under" performing" being stolen out of business, i suspect is because in california you can steal up to $900+ dolars before it becomes a felony, on top of that the street people aint got nothing to loose, jail to them is 3 hots and a cot, on top of that, by the time the cops arive the 5 finger discounter is long gone, i sugested to put up signs we reward people who turn in shop lifters, also they could put on the sign please help us stay in your comunity turn in a shop lifter, there is no way do i have the smarts, to figure out the thousands of steps it takes to open 1 store now x that by 5000+ stores, i have heard street talk "i hate rich people, who are probably the low lifes that steal stores out of business, then i ask them do you know any poor people who have opened any stores lately, which causes them to go into a major grand maul sezure, trying to come up with a answer, then to further drive the point home, i say dont you think these rich people you say you hate, could easly close down every 1 of their stores and haply go to a tropical lisland and easly retire for the rest of their lives, not having to put up with low life shop lifters, facts even if money grew on trees the smart ones would get it first, fact i aint that smart, and i aint rich, so fact to the extent a person is rich is a measurement of their smarts, and i make it a point to thank them for being open, oh yeah if i witness a low life abusing a casheer, i will apologize for them being walked allover like a dirty rug, i try to conduct my life on the grudge factor, that means i go out of my way to treat people kindly and respectfull, so far it has worked out in my life real good”
“I visited my local Dollar Tree this evening and as I was checking out with a young woman, I was greeted upon exiting by an incredible worker by the name of Michael. It didn’t surprise me as he’s been extremely courteous, professional and outgoing in the past, but I decided to take the time tonight to acknowledge how appreciative I am as a long-standing customer. It’s truly refreshing to receive service by someone who seems extremely engaged and enthusiastic about their job. You just don’t see that as much these days, and Michael is an excellent representation of someone who provides a phenomenal customer experience to each and every person that he helps. He was an extremely great hire, and I just want management to know that this man deserves a raise and a promotion!! Please know that even at 8 o'clock at night when everyone else is preparing to go home, he’s still greeting customers, thanking them for their business and leading by example…simply WOW!”
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. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
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.
