“Had to make sure I posted that the store manager, Jessica, was so kind and helpful...she was right there to help me load up my car with several very large items. She went above and beyond to make sure I was able to get all my things in just one trip.
Really provided great customer service and the staff there are always so friendly too.”
“10/5 for the service my sister and I received while getting our ears pierced. The ladies were super kind and helpful. They made us feel very welcome, took great care to get our piercings right, and generously did all they could to help when my sister started to feel sick. I'm so greatful, and definitely recommend!!”

“Usually very clean, stocked well
The registers are a bit close tho, hard to maneuver when people are standing at them to even get by
Plenty of parking
Usually a decent selection of clearance”
“Yolanda was the best customer service experience i think i ever had. I called for info on a product and she was so nice , professional and seemed like an actually nice person. Hopefully her boss reads these reviews. Thank you for being a real , nice , helpfull person Yolanda , you deserve recognition !! God Bless”
“Good selection of curtains and rugs. Plenty of other home decor items along with a few other finds. Fairly priced inventory with some items found to be aggressively discounted priced from time to time. You can find some nice clothes sometimes too and spend much less. Great place to browse and I usually end up picking up something without breaking the bank”
“By far the best place to find childrens activities at a decent price, and they also have some fun girly things such a s make-up and vanity items. Bring your own bag as this is a self check out place with pay per bag- which are small.”
“I only stood outside of the place waiting for my family to come from inside shopping what I see outside is a clean decent nice area and store very good items inside”
“Best service I have had at a Dollar General . I came in and asked for doggie pads there on one package in stock and Katherine showed me a better option for around the same savings”
“This place has gotten substantially better. Staff is helpful and friendly. It has also stepped up in cleaning the store. Still a bit cluttered, but it is way better than a few months ago. Went on a Sunday, and even though there was a good number of customers, the checkout was very quick because they added people as soon as they were able.”
“I had the BEST experience at DG on 03/02/25. I regret not getting the employees’ names, but I was helped by the two kindest employees when purchasing balloons. They were super accommodating and pleasant:”
“I walked in to buy a drink and a snack. I found a Gem of a store thinking of the people... EGGS are being sold for. Only 369 cents I believe see the picture ive attached for actual price marked by this store. Way to go a store for the people. Get there fast before their gone.”
“I am equidistant to this location and another one but I do prefer shopping at the one in Prospect. They have a good selection of food and goods. I use their app to load coupons and then just plug in my phone # at the register. The line usually isn't very long but even when it is it does move quickly which makes it easy if you just need to run in for one or two items. The sales people are helpful.”

“Haven’t been to this Family dollar in years. Before it was unorganized & all ways messy. Today I visited for the time since they remolded & it was very nice & it’s nice & clean & neat. I will be back. I L❤️VE IT!”
“great staff, clean store, good selection of products. masks were worn and social distance was practiced. staff works very hard to stock and check out customers in a fast yet friendly manner.”
“Great customer service and smooth once the line got busy the lady at register call for help and they open another register. They should give some training to the store at Wolcott st”
“We purchased a mattress and headboard. The woman who helped us (forgive us, but we never got her name) was absolutely fabulous. She has great product knowledge, products, features and benefits, inventory, and she even hauled the items out for us and helped us get it all into our van. The price was amazing, too. ????????????”

“First time going in here the other day and was looking for something specific, the staff let me know they didn't carry it but was very friendly
Store was mostly clean.
Discounted area was a little crazy though
But overall good store”
“Many of the workers are very friendly even when customers are rude to them. The store could be kept cleaner but it would help if customers put things back where they got them from. Not just where they decided not to buy it. I feel bad for the workers. Yes they are paid to upkeep the store but they shouldn't have to follow behind people to keep the store clean. Someone said it's the most ghetto store. I agree. But maybe people need to start taking care of the store with some respect. You don't want it to look ghetto then don't treat it ghetto. I don't see other stores looking like this. Why? Because the people don't act like they don't care and just throw things where ever they land. I don't see how the employees can handle picking up after that many people. The only reason I give the store a 4 instead of a 1 is because the workers trying to keep it as they do.”
“Large, spacious store. Unlike other dollar stores nearby. I like the combined concept of both stores. Dollar Tree when you walk in and Family Dollar on the other. If you can't find a specific item on one side, chances are they have it on the other side. Great if you were looking for $1.25 items, but also want to pick up name brand groceries and home items. This location is primarily a Family Dollar with FD receipts and bags. That means you can also use their app at checkout to redeem their coupons and offers. So far, still very clean and stocked neatly. Brought a long vacant space back to life.”
“The employee Brandon was amazing he went out of his way to get me a product I was calling around for. He even went to opening boxes for me. Also the manager here is always helpful and a great team leader thank you guys for making my trip here a great one.”
“Dont sleep on dollar tree!! For 1.25 you can get just about anything. Sometimes you get what you pay for but rather lose 1.25 than to lose 6.00 somewhere else. My only complaint; why is it dollar trees mission to only have one cashier working at the busiest times of the day?”
“I love this store! The staff is amazing! They are always willing to help you look for things and answer questions. I usually go in to buy one thing ..but by the time I leave.. I come home with a bag full ! ?”
“Great store to a tad messy , not because of the employees but due to customers just throwing stuff anywhere and allowing there kids to run a muck and make messes”
“Great stuff here. I usually buy silk flowers to make arrangements. Their canned goods are very good except their brand of tomato sauces in the can. I mean crushed tomatos and tomato puree. You will be very sorry if you buy these products to make a meat sauce for macaroni. They are filled with the skins of the tomato. I mean I literally gagged. They got stuck on the roof of my mouth and I could not wash them down. It ruined my whole sauce. I had to start all over with a more popular brands. DO NOT BUY THEM!!!”

“This is my neighborhood grocery store. It has almost everything I need. They have ride service if u spend $75 or more. I would not recommend the ride unless they hire a new driver. The driver parked in the mall parking lot and tried kissing me....yuck! I pushed him away from me and got out the van and walked home with my heavy groceries.”
“I’ve been to many Dollar Trees in the area. They are usually the same.Close out products and lots of their own brand items.The past 2 years I have noticed that they are selling SOME Holiday decor items comparable to Michaels and Hobby Lobby for a fraction of the cost (usually $1.25 - although in some in some of the posher communities they have small sections called Dollar Tree Plus of which items can cost up to $5).The store in Cheshire is definitely one of the cleaner stores and the cashier there are severely overworked.Each and EVERY time I go there, they only have one cashier with the line 6-15 deep with her going on the overhead speaker between customers saying “Back up” with a pleading and hopeful look on her face.The ladies (sorry boys I have never seen a male at this location…probably accounts for the tidiness of the location) all seem to be very helpful - but as l mentioned the employees who work the register are visibly frustrated.Now that I live in Cheshire, I will probably not be going to the other locations as much…My opinion of the other local stores-Wallingford - 4/5North Haven - 4/5Hamden - 2/5Meriden 2/5”
