“Tarla was so helpful to me and my wife! She always greets us with a smile, and always assists us with anything we need! 10/10 recommend, very good customer service”
“Now that this store has been updated and the merchandise inventory is more like an actual grocery store (less fresh foods and meat) I can honestly say THIS STORE IS TRULY CONVENIENT. In all actuality the prices are only somewhat higher but milk, eggs and butter are equal and even less than the grocery giant. Staff is consistent but they are consistently turning over new staff. I used to know everyone by name. Now its faces because no one wears name tags, and at about 6 months they're gone anyway. Stocking is a real issue here. I see staff struggling to get products on the shelves while still getting customers through the register and out the door. The corporation did not consider bagging products at the register for the remodel because they have very little room to scan groceries and bag them, especially if there are more than 2 bags to fill. I will say that with all the staff has to do, the stores interior image has greatly improved. Clean floors and bathroom (90% of my visits), shelves stocked to about 80% and with a large parking lot too. This is where I see the most debris and litter but the wind out here is a huge reason for that and I can imagine that keeping it clean is a whole day task in itself. The staff, whether short term or longer still try to be courteous and pleasant and they earned the 4 stars in my rating.”
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.

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.
