“Family dollar can go both ways but lately it’s pretty good with ya I y what is needed and not being to crazy looking. There is a new person working there and I can say he alway great people coming in and is a pleasure even when checking out.”
“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.”

“T.J. Maxx, Meriden, CT store #1370. I have been shopping in this store for over 7 years and I have to say that I'm very happy to see that the store has new merchandise every time I visit but merchandise is not the only reason why I shop there. With my busy schedule I have been putting it off to write this review but I finaly have few minutes and have to say that the store manager Jonathan Johnson (JJ) deserves to be praised for his wonderful managerial skills. Jonathan helped me on a couple of occasions and he was very kind, listened, showed emphaty and apologized and took control of the situation that at the end it was all good. The second time he has helped me with an online return because it required an exception. Jonathan has real genuine customer service approach, stays calm and listens to you and is always polite. I have to add that I worked as a bank manager for many years and I know what good customer service is when I see one. Good manager such as Jonathan will lead his team always in the right direction.”
“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.”
“Located in a place i used to go when it was a different store back in day. Used to live in the area and was easy to find. Store very clean and very kind friendly staff”
“I NEED TO MAKE THIS POST! PLEASE READ!
My girlfriend and I went to ocean state yesterday to pick up a gazebo from the service desk (right when you walk in the register to the right) there was a VERY helpful gentleman named Mario or Jesus (we couldn’t read his nametag) he IMMEDIATELY went to get our order from the back. So very very helpful and nice.
As we are waiting…this woman ( she was a Spanish woman I think she was a manager) comes over, walks right by my girlfriend and I without saying a word or asking if we are all set. She starts looking for our cashier who was getting our order ready, she then proceeds to yell at the other cashiers looking for Mario/Jesus. Finally after like 2 min of her yelling I made it VERY clear he was helping us and if she just asked where he was (politely) we could have let her know. It was so uncalled for. Mario/Jesus comes back and is so super pleasant and helps with the rest of the order. HE should be manager. Not that other lady. She was not very acclimated to customer service.”
“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”
“Roseanne was excellent with customer service today. My Mom got. Package of flashlights but didn’t have the receipt. Roseanne said I’m not sure how to do that, but immediately called her store manager Marie , and was talked through the process. Both of these ladies deserve to be recognized as wonderful examples of great customer service. Thank you Roseanne for your great attitude & great service. Pam & her Mom Joan”

“Nice place. Nice selection and variety of products. I like the fact it’s bigger and that they have a bathroom and water fountain. Most Five Below’s I’ve been into don’t have those. So that was really convenient. Very nice five below. Will totally be back.”
“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 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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“became much better than earlier this year. no more sharp needles in clothings, place is def cleaner even though variety became smaller. lots of reasonably priced brands you can buy for fraction of the retail price. The non-clothing section is also great.”

“A bona fide dollar tree with all the bells and whistles, at the expected price point.
Mostly.
I can't tell you how much fun my wife and I actually have at this store, and the creative ideas we both pursue and are inspired by both before coming to the store and in the moment. our friends who also shop here vibe similarly”
“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”
“I love this store and all the hard working individuals that work here. Jordan brightens my day every time I see her at the register. Such a great personality and gorgeous smile!”

“No longer a dollar but you can still get some great deals. You'll come out with a basket full and it won't break you. Search the isles you'll find all kinds of little treasures”
“Decent place. Not a lot of variety but not terrible. Wouldn’t recommend chargers from there. Too expensive for very low quality chargers that can ruin your phone. Never had a problem with the staff that I could remember.”
“This place is still on the brand new side and their first day of opening was on 5/29/25, decided to check it out and it was very well organized. The staff were really nice, friendly, and also very helpful by greeting everyone that has walked in as a first time. I’ll be back because it really feels like close to home for me and if I need a supply for crafts which I know they have a low temperature heated glue gun. I would highly recommend more people to check out this place and for the record it deserves a 5 star review.”
“Typical dollar tree some are nice and clean and some are a hot mess, this location was busy when we arrived. I always felt bad getting cards from here for cheap, but I realized who's really checking how much you spent on a card. ?”
“They never have the sale items in inventory!!!!! Never give rain checks for the sale items and the place is very disorganized!! They take what is on sale from one holiday to the next. If rain check is given. It’s verbal and never given as promised. Disorganized organization Good luck !!”
“There is some good employees working there and the store always has good deals on items and lots of coupons daily added new to the app. I love this store. Also another plus is the store is normally stocked and clean unlike some of the other stores in the area.”
“This review is for jose and liz.They are both amazing employees.Very warm, caring individuals, they help anybody that needs it, which is unusual for those type of stores.Jose was in the aisles, he helped me out.So much trying to find product that I needed.He was so kind and so helpful.I can't even express it also liz.Who is one of the cashiers?She was absolutely amazing.She's so loving and caring to her customers.Really an amazing store shawn who is the manager?Does an amazing job with the store?Is always clean?Well, stocked really takes the time out to make sure everything's right very friendly.I can't say enough good things about the crew there.And I hope he takes the time out to recognize him in a meeting or something.Give him some kind of gift for doing a job well done”
“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.”
“Abraham Lincoln socks from the Smithsonian for only $1.25 - talk about a must-have impulse buy! Very friendly staff - she rang up my candy purchase and we had a very pleasant conversation about movies (nudge nudge wink wink).”
