“Okay so... I was unpleasantly surprised that Dollar General is not a $1 only store, but it does have good prices. I went at night and was scared I might be in a bad area, but most of the customers were families with children or teenage girls. All the cashiers at the time were women so I felt safe there. Nice selection of stuff, including some tasty ice cream varieties like twinkies that you wouldn't expect to see at a mini mart. Clean, well stocked.”
“The store is very nice and clean. It's spacious and has a bit of everything you need for your home, kitchen, bathroom, medicine, vitamins, feminine care, garden and for your furry friend and a lot more. I highly recommend you to stop by and check it out for yourself. You might also open the app and every Saturday you get a $5 discount for a $25 purchase and there are more coupons on the app. Thanks ?”
“My main source for seasonings, sauces, snacks, cleaning supplies, drink mixes, sodas, juice, vitamins and trash bags. Aside from pork butts, chicken legs, ribs and red onions, this will always be my go to store.”
“First time here with my family from out of the country. We all appreciated Neiva's help, she has bright red hair. My grandma moves real slow, and she was kind and kept a conversation going with her. Even while busy, she made us feel welcomed. We plan on coming back.”
“Great find if you like northeastern-style dollar stores that are jammed with stuff. This one has the usual discount items, plastic tablecloth material by the yard, clothing, a surprisingly good craft aisle, lots of Mexican snacks, and a lively toy section.”
“I love being able to find things at the dollar tree. The only thing I don't like is when you find a product that you really like they seem to no longer carry it.”

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.
