“This dollar tree location is my favorite one. It is on the larger side, the aisles are wider, and clear. The store is well stocked, and in good repair. Other locations have "housekeeping" issues, but at this dollar tree location, as it is newer, Has clean floors, all the lights are on, and it does not feel dingy or cramped.They have any amazing selection of craft supplies, books, a good grocery/pantry section, and of course, a good variety of candy/sweets.This is one of my favorite places to look for stocking stuffers.”
“Delightful surprise. Went in for crafting supplies and found so much more including some better brand closeouts. So many hard to find discontinued spray paints, fair prices! And Almas is the sweetest. Great customer service. Plenty of parking.”
“Linda was so awesome. I needed 16 balloons and she was so patient and kind helping me get what I needed. She called for backup and walked over to help me with a smile. She made me laugh too. Great experience and so many cool things”
“Love saving money shopping here. Unfortunately you have to pay attention to what you're buying. Some things are lower in quality than you'd expect. They are always getting new and different products, which sucks if you find something you like because it might be sold out forever the next time you visit.”
“Honestly of all the dollar tree I been too this one is one of the best ones and I’m not just saying that this one they always keep it clean and the ppl that have worked there they been so nice, they always have so many good things love coming here”
“Staff is always so friendly here and things are always stocked. They have a good variety of food and miscellaneous things like nail supplies and household items.”
“I love this place. You can tell that the people that started this company and the ones who run it today have always had the customers best interest at heart. I commend the Dollar Tree on its commitment to providing quality at an unmatched price and I recommend supporting this company. There are no other dollar stores around after the pandemic and inflation. They only went up a humble 25 cents. At the other stores I'll be damned if there is anything for a buck anymore. Update some prices on certain items have gone up.”
“I knew we could find some cheap plastic baskets to put our toiletries in while traveling and found them here. Also looked for some name brand baby shampoo for $1.25 instead of $7+ at the pharmacy. I was also looking for some spray eye glass cleaner expecting to find a small travel size for $1.25. Nope a much larger size for your home counter. Too big to travel. Always great Halloween and Christmas decorations and small projects for the grandkids to do.”
“I appreciated the amount of products/ supplies nearly tucked in the store (including bottled water), the low prices, AND most importantly the kind and helpful staff; especially the manager/owner!makes a special”
“I have been going to dollar tree for years. I always can find the majority of things a stopped fo unlike other 99 cent stores.I always have had friendly service.”
“Always fully stocked. Good customer service (they great you as. you walk in and as you leave).
A lot of parking.
Only downside, it can be scary at night if there's beggers/homeless people by the entrance.”
“I have been to a few Dollar Tree stores over the years, this location was the most organized and clean that I have seen. The staff was friendly and professional. Checkout was very quick. I found some great toys for my fur babies and some other great stuff.”
“This place is usually clean, well organized, well stocked, and the people that work there are friendly+helpful. Sometimes there's only 1 person to ring up a lot of customers, but that's everywhere I go these days.”
“The people I met recently were most friendly and sweet. But I do have to complain about a cashier doing a while ago that was obnoxious and violated basic queue logic.
Buyer 1 who was third in line in Line A, had three items. Line B then opened. So that buyer went to be the first at Line B. But the cashier STOPPED that buyer and forced them to wait, just to bring the buyer second in Line A over. For the record, Buyer A had only like a handful of items, Line A was NOT exceptionally slow. Buyer B had a full cart of items! Even Buyer B was confused.
The cashier shouldn’t have to do such things, it’s first come first serve for cashier lines for efficiency. The cashier should ONLY EVER pull from the front of another line if it is exceptionally slow. Still, why pull someone with a full cart from the front of even an exceptionally slow/long line to get first dibs in a newly open line, when someone with just one item has already made it there? Not everyone buyer will be aware enough to let the person with one item ahead. All of this serves as “accommodation” that only wastes more time and effort. Another scenario even: if someone makes it to line 1 with a lot of items, is in a hurry but isn’t gonna mention anything for politeness sake, only for the cashier to pull Person B who has an equal amount of items from the front of another average line. It’s just, by this same logic, should the buyer who stayed inside the store the longest be given dibs as the first one to pay, out of everyone currently present in the store?
This was a quite a mundane rant I went on but it really was annoying. Another good thing, it seems the possibly bigoted older male employee is gone, the one who many have reported acted weird to them from treating them rudely, to searching bags and following them. Relief.”
“The store was neater than I'd seen it in a long time; that made me completely relaxed. That said, there were many shelves half empty, but there were a bunch of product boxes, right in front of the cash register, still waiting to be unboxed and shelved. The bright spot was the cashier, Lea. She carefully wrapped each of the glass jars, which are gorgeous, and the ceramic bowl. She packed the bag perfectly so it wasn't heavy. And, to top it off, she took the person who walked up behind me after she was about to take a break. Great customer service!”
“The BEST Dollar Tree. They have EVERYTHING. It's very clean and organized. Nice ppl who work there. From nice dishes to facial toner and serums there's a wide selection of quality items. I'm going baco for fake nails 1.25 and all shapes & eyelashes 1.25 very thick long and curled. They do have some items for 5.oo”

“Benjamin the cashier did an excellent job .He was pite and friendly and quick .He had turned off his light as we were his last customers .The rudest person interupted our transaction and demanded she be waited on .He was still super professional..”
“I’ve never really had a bad experience here. I usually visit at night, and the staff is quiet but always approachable whenever I have a question. The store is typically well-organized and clean, which I appreciate. Not to mention they have a wide selection of various snacks, household items, and etc!! I definitely enjoy stopping by for snacks!”
