“There's always a long line with a single cashier getting slammed. Unfair to the people who work there. I usually go here for wrapping paper/gift bags, cookie bags at the holidays for gifting ? bags of cookies at school/work/friends/family.”
“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.”
“I'm sad to see these stores closing down. I always enjoyed meandering thru the stores variety. I will definitely miss not having it available to look for affordable home furnishings in the future.”
“The store is very clean and organized. All of the employees are helpful and say hello with a smile. Clean and organized with a good selection of items and employees who are friendly and kind gets five stars from me.”

“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”
“My favorite place to grab my condiments and toiletries, but they also have a wide variety of runners mats and carpets, and kitchen and cookware stuff for days.
They even have fresh breads and soda bread, when that's a thing.
Big k cup boxes, variety of brands and cases of seltzer soda and even international candies and misc products from locations around the world.
Need a quick pair of slippers this winter? A thermal long sleeve shirt? Socks and pajamas- throw blankets, pillows sheets sets and that sorry of thing.. plus quality toys and art supplies.
Love this store, it's my local answer to Ollie's - check it out of you haven't.
But who hasn't??”
“I was in line with cart full, gentleman behind me had 2 items. I offered for him to go before me. He declined saying he works there was going on break. He realized the customer ahead of me at register might be a few minutes. So he got out of line. Logged back into his register and checked me out, delaying his break time. I appreciate his consideration for providing such great customer service”
“I can talk about the store and how clean and organized it is but this review is about the great customer service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I got everything on my shopping list. Even took the time to help me locate hard to find items. The other associates were also incredibly helpful and checked on me out with a smile. You will find everything you need at a discounted price! Thanks to the staff for the exceptional service today.”
“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”
“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”

“It is one of my favorite places to visit for electronics and phone accessories. When traveling, if you need a cord or charger, find your way to any 5 below gat what you need and save big.”
“One employee in particular, Roseanne, is a staple to this store. I always see her hustling around getting things done and she just has such a sweet demeanor. Always a pleasant experience when she rings me out. Great employees really do make a place great. I hope she gets the credit she deserves because in a world where everyone seems to have a chip on their shoulder, she is a breath of fresh air. You guys are lucky to have her!”
“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:”
“Definitely a "friends and family" atmosphere here and that's an understatementQuality customer service and definitely a repeat locationThanks Joanie and Will for your consistency”

“Pleasant prices, a lot of trinkets for the home, there is a lot to choose from. Strangely, once they didn't let me in with my backpack, I had to leave it at the cash desk.”
“I love this place so much I almost want to gate keep. Absolutely love the treasures you find here! I just wish at a certain point they would get rid of the items that haven't sold in months. However you will not walk out empty handed. This store has something for everyone! The clothing deals are AMAZING, there's tools, food, toys and so much more! Make sure you sign up for rewards at the register to earn points for a $10 reward!”
“This is hands down the absolute best Dollar General. It's always perfectly clean! The decor isles are always beautifuly staged with very trendy items. Each isle is always stacked with it's intended items. I always get my dog and cat food/treats. I stock up on frozen foods, candy, snacks, and all my toiletries and cleaning supplies..
I also love to browse the decor isles. I often snag an item or two to help decorate for the seasons. I get a lot of planters there and garden decor. They just have really nice things for even nicer prices.
The manager and day staff are great. Super friendly. They remember they're regulars. Night staff is nice too, but not as personable as day shift employees. I feel very lucky to live right up the road, because after discovering this location, I WILL NOT go to any other DG.”

“"If dirt were dollarsWe'd all be in the black"(Don Henley)I certainly enjoy poking around dollar stores, especially when they are new, neat, well stocked and organized, and staffed by friendly engaging personnel. The Dollar Tree in Unionville has all of those qualities. They've only been open for half a year, but the store looks like it just opened yesterday. All the shelves were full and the store was as neat as a pin. As we walked their aisles we saw a nice selection of toys, books, household paper goods, cleaning supplies, home office and craft supplies, kitchen ware, pet supplies, frozen food, canned goods, candy, snacks, greeting cards (2 for a buck!), health and beauty aids, and party supplies. They even have a small bargain section where we saw dirt cheap Christmas wrap, bagged snacks, and a $0.25 jar of spicy mustard that ended up in our cart. We picked up a whole slew of Valentines Day goodies for the grand kids and a whole slew of beef jerky for me. And to top things off, the young lady at the cash register was a delight!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Like this store the ladies are nice and helpful. The only problem is they never have enough carts to shop with. I have a bad knee so I need a cart to walk with. Other then that it is always nice to shop there.”
“I went into the store looking for things for casual sandals for vacation. Shoe department was very full and organized by size. Found whatI was looking for right away.Store was clean, and the cashier was very friendly and quick. Great experience. Store is always clean and full of merchandise”
“It is small but has a lot of variety compared to other similar ones.
Everything looks very close together, but they are very friendly when serving customers.
Disposable products run out very quickly compared to others.
Some products are out of place, I picked up some things in the 1.25 section but at the checkout the prices were different.”
“For a pinch Dollar General is a sinch. Low prices and a variety of items from foods to clothes to small gift ideas, Dollar General can help you get many great things!”
“I always have a great experience here. Fully stocked, very organized, the staff are all nice and the store is clean. I came here for a few household necessities and found everything with ease.”
“customer service is on point. extremely friendly staff. the manager yesterday went out of his way to assist me with products that were on top shelves personally got them down. his self opened them up and assisted me greatly as a business owner myself, these are the type of people that I look for on my staff”
