“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.”
“Extremely impressed with their hospitality, kindness, and selection of ALL alcohol. My first impression of 89 Liquors left me very satisfied. I can definitely say I will be going back in the near future. Thanks for your help!”
“Today I want to thank the cashier Jorge who was very kind and helpful, he helped me and treated me very well, I congratulate him and many cashiers learn from him, a very good, clean store with a lot of products.”
“Love this store! Always clean, well-stocked, and full of great variety, especially the meat selection! The staff is super friendly and helpful. The new owners are amazing, very welcoming and truly care about the community. It’s clear they work hard to make this a great shopping experience for everyone. So glad to have such a wonderful Grocery Outlet here in Atwater!”
“My favorite place for groceries, vitamins, and other ever changing merchandise. They have a good selection of organic and specialty foods. The wine department has some fine labels. I love the variety of items available.”
“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.”
“Micro-Walmart for the lower middle classes and welfare state dependents in Livingson, California...how did rural America survive without King Dollar General-The Fiat Currency Standard?”
“Everything's a buck fifty+ now. The store looked messy and they were stocking. But hey what else can you expect since we're coming up on a holiday. It was easy to find everything but I was distracted by other products and over bought. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was very helpful. Theyre a good store and I rely on they're products. Thank you dollar tree. Overall a good shop.”
“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.”
“Most Dollar Trees are very similar. This one is very typical of my visits to DT stores. It's clean, organized, well stocked, and the staff is friendly. I recommend it!”
“Great staff, and variety of items and products to choose from, especially since it appears to be the largest Dollar Tree store out of the three here in Merced. Only thing is that there aren't many on-floor staff, especially to help out at the registers. Though that isn't to say it's their fault, simply that there is still a shortage of workers pretty much everywhere you go. Even so, when you do find employees out on the floor, they're usually helping other customers, cleaning, and stocking shelves. Great customer service overall.”
“I like the store and their prices. Heard that they were shutting down this year sadly when we just lost all of the 99 cent only stores hope that family dollar still stays in business.”
“I was able to donate all of my old stuff that was still in great shape I couldn't bare to throw it in the garbage because I'm environmentaly conscious and thank God this goodwill took everything.”
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.
