“This is our go-to for everything. Malinda is amazing, always welcoming her customers in while checking out customers, which is extra special! Always on point. She cares and it shows with her hospitality! Byron is always willing to go the extra step. He is a hard worker and makes our day when these two are working! These are the best DG employees!”
“A pretty decent store. Very clean but sometimes can be disorganized. Boxes are places throughout the store which can block the aisles. The employees were nice and respectful.”
“How fun is this store! They explained everything to me as soon as I walked in. Very thorough. It’s like Christmas with some mystery boxes. I’m definitely coming back.”
“Man, you guys gotta go there! They have everything, and I mean everything you wanted and even stuff you forgot you wanted. Excellent C.S, the girls are the bomb.”
“As a longtime customer of this Grocery Outlet, I've always been treated with kindness, respect, and professionalism. The staff has consistently been welcoming, and my experiences have always been positive”
“THEY WERE AMAZINGLY QUICK AND I JUST ABOUT DROPPED MY PANTS 4 THEIR TRUE BLUE AMERICAN CREW OF BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND UNBEATABLE PRICES!!! I'D RECOMMEND COSTLESS IN MODESTO TO ALL MY CLOSEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND COMPETITION!!!... :^) Adrian Blue”
“I was under the impression that the store does senior citizen discount on Wednesday when I went in today Wednesday April 15 the cashier sort of rude said you do not do any discounts is this true cause I went to the other groc outlet and I get the discount as long as I spend 15 dollars otherwise this was the only problem with the store love the deals and cleanliness of the place.”
“Thank you Carlos A. ur such a great asset to the store always very helpful and courteous. U gave me such wonderful customer service on Sunday morning at the check out. Previously you had assisted me at the frozen foods section keep up the wonderful customer service.”
“This is my favorite dollar store, and I know it's not their fault, but I found a human hair embedded in one of the Assured brand cotton swabs. Brand new & unopened. ? I don't expect them to be sterile, but this is gross.”
“Dollar Tree at this location is awesome. Jose and Sonaja I believe the young lady was. Very friendly people and awesome. First time in this store and I will forever go in this store. Prices are amazing 👏 Thank you”
“The staff here is very helpful! I only experienced a kinda grumpy employee once and who knows what was going on, you know? Everyone has a bad day and at least they weren't rude, just kinda grumpy but other than that, they are always very friendly and helpful. I like shopping here. I love the dinner sets I bought here and the selection of greeting cards that aren't over $6 like I've seen in some stores. They have a great selection of snacks so it's always been a go to when going to the movies or having a picnic or just satisfying a sweet tooth. I wouldn't be able to write this review without the reading glasses that I buy there, lol.”
“Best birra tacos ever. You get to choose spicy or non spicy but if you like spicy this one is super fire 🥵 so good. And the family runs the restaurant part and meat department. Awesome place to grab your nessities beer food! The people who run the store are always kind. Very nice store to visit.”
“My daughter and I shop Dollartree weekly! My top picks are McHenry ave at Leveland, and Carver Road! We are greeted when we walk through the door with smiles! The workers are actually happy to see us back each week! Managers John, and Joy are the best! They treat us with kindness and respect, and have become our friends! The store is clean, and well stocked. All team members are always working hard. Celeste at Carver road is the sweetest! Thank all of you for being amazing human beings! ❤️”
“I wanted to take a moment to recognize Terry, who works at our local Dollar General in Oakdale, CA. I recently overheard some negative comments from a corporate team about her communication style, and I found it very unprofessional for them to speak about her in front of customers. Terry consistently provides exceptional customer service. She greets everyone with a warm smile and goes out of her way to ensure that customers feel valued. I appreciate her friendly demeanor and the way she engages with everyone, making shopping at Dollar General a pleasant experience. In fact, I sometimes drive to out-of-town Dollar Generals because our local store often has products in boxes rather than on the shelves. However, I always return to this location because of Terry's wonderful customer service. Instead of criticizing dedicated employees like Terry, I would encourage management to focus on solutions, such as hiring overnight stockers to help unload and stock products. It's frustrating for customers when items are available but not accessible. In a world where good customer service can sometimes feel rare, Terry stands out. She deserves recognition for her hard work, and I hope her contributions are valued. Thank you, Terry, for always brightening my day!”
“This store is great, friendly staff always willing to help find what I need. The manager really has everything under control, things are in place very clean and stocked. I definitely would recommend this store to all my friend’s & family.”
“I'm only giving a five star review based on staff. I love going here because everyone that works there, without exception, are extremely kind, compassionate and outstanding human beings. This is not hyperbole whatsoever, but my true and honest feelings. When I first moved to this tiny Town the stuff at this particular store was extremely rude and just plain horrible. When employee tried to ban me from the store because I called him out for being so rude to me every time I came into the store. When I came back the next day to talk to the manager about what the young man had done the evening before, I found that they had let go the whole entire staff that was there and they had all been replaced. I don't know how they found this group of people that's there now but I hope none of them ever leave!”
“I like the one located downtown by taco bell. Its always well stocked and the employees r very helpful and courteous.i give the 5stars 2the young man that works evenings.hes fast patient greets u when u walk in.great service. There's a lady that works that has an attitude and acts bothered if asked something.never smiles and is rude.especially to people that had a lot of stuff and customer uses the coupons.well those take a few min 2 go thru at register.she gets impatient and an attitude.not friendly.but the young man with black hair is a very good employee.”
“I love this Dollar General. I've been shopping here for 3 yrs and I like the employees, there friendly always and the store manager, she's friendly. I appreciate any store with employees that are always friendly and welcoming, it's rare lately. The selection of products is pretty good here also”
“This is by far the best one in this city for various reasons, the location, the employees are always friendly to me even with the rampant theft that goes on daily. And this is New Years Eve and they close at 10pm! sucks for them but good for me! Staying off the streets this night and being safe!”
“This is my Main hometown store that I’ve been coming here for years and years. I can honestly say, they carry low prices, have lots of items in stock and employees are helpful.Compared to the new big WM down the street, this is my go to store for quick items or to refill my fridge. Yes lines can get long but patience is what you need. Seems like people hate waiting in long lines and are the same “road rage drivers” swerving in an out of lanes causing accidents because “their time is more valuable and in a hurry” then YOURS. So don’t listen to a review if it starts with “I waited forever or long lines” cause that’s everywhere. If you hate waiting In long lines wherever you go, why don’t you apply for a job and be a next “cashier”. LolAnyways, friendly staff, low prices, have what I need, and yes a manager was able to give my my missing “garbage can lid” that I didn’t know the one I purchased didn’t come with one. I saw the same ones with lids on them and asked and he approved me to grab a “lid”. A.though it was free, I paid for it long ago without a lid …..Now that’s EXCELLENT SERVICE RIGHT THERE!”
“I was visiting from NJ, where we have several DGs. However we do not have a DG Market where I live. I was pleasantly supposed to see how bug it was. It was really stocked which i loved. They had exactly what I was looking for and the cashier was great. This is for the Modesto DG on Tully Road.”
“A good place to get budget things, but be careful while choosing your product. Most of them have some minor dent, scratches or defects.So choose your item by properly checking it.”
“Went to the store in escalon, on Tuesday Sept. 26. I used to go often. There are carts filled with msde. Self serve, checkout was closed. 1 cashier, there was msde. by the front register, why was the cashier not working on the freight that was there. 2 young men towards the back working the freight, then 1 left. Cases of water left outside. I'm not sure what happened, but it never looked like this. Terrible. Won't be back.”
“friendly cashier and polite noise customers but hey my dog always gets more attention than I do known for her not for who I am very quiet store if ya dropped a penny the customers outside the door would hear it and the toys the adults were playing with poor kids lol...”
“One thing I appreciated the most was the excellent value for money. The products were reasonably priced, and there were many good-quality items available at budget-friendly rates. I was surprised by the large selection of products and the variety of brands offered. The store also had seasonal decorations and special discount items, which made shopping more exciting and enjoyable.”
“If I could score higher I would! I was greeted, the store was clean and organized and super spacious! 10/10 I asked about the balloons and the employee was really nice and knowledgeable! Great work at the Mchenry location!”
“We were visiting from out of town and needed to do a little shopping. This store was very nice and clean, and very organized. They have some great prices. And the service was good. We were very pleased with our shopping experience here.”
“Needs more folks in there …. I’m willing to work there. If they actually pay attention what I’m trying to say is like if a person turns in their application on the on the spot interviews and BOOM!!!! There’s workers”
“This location is kept clean with great customer service. The only problem is they are always out of stock on many Items. Usually the same ones i check for whenever i visit this store. But the employees that ive met have all been super friendly and hard working.”
“I've looked and read through these reviews. Unlike many, I visited a few minutes ago on 2/16. The moment I entered, I was immediately greeted. I did my shopping and the women checking me out was very professional and had a beautiful sense of humor. Will visit again! Great prices as always. Thank you!”
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.

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.
