“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.”
“What can I say? It's got a lot of items (albeit mostly leftovers that didn't sell), still a lot of good items at great prices. I often get xmas gift bags, and that kind of item here. It saves me a lot!”
“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!!”
“Samantha was awesome helping a customer with an oversized rug and a lot of items, including opening double doors for her, and then re-folding towels for me so that they would fit into the bag. Fantastic and friendly service!”
“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”
“The people here is what you call hard workers they are short on staff at times but they manage to get quick at ringing items when super busy even help to saving me money on top of it. Would shop here for quick shopping experience.”
“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.”
“My experience was wonderful ! My girlfriend & I just visited the Oxford Ct store & immediately was greeted at the door! The store was being stocked so they were busy working the register & unpacking the items yet 1 of the workers Mo was very helpful, courteous &was very very helpful & polite! Keep up the good work cause they deserve it!Thank youLisa & Joan”
“Matt and Tammy always say ?hello!! It makes all the difference when you are greeted with a smile ? TAMMY is the newest cashier always try's to help you find merchandise ? working hard to make sure customers are rang up and MERCHANDISE is on the shelf!!I'm a manager, and I noticed these things she deserves 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️??”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“Came in to buy balloons and have them blown up. Busy store with 2 on staff. Ry blew up my balloons. I had a feeling he was new or needed more training with the balloons but in his defense the stock was slim pickings. Ry was truly a doll. Working with what he had and kept saying thank you and I’m sorry. I’m sure customers can be hard on cashiers etc. Ry had that “ eager to please” personality and clearly was doing his best with a positive attitude. While he was young I could tell that he really wants to do a good job!
The store is busy, There really should be a third to help the others out.”
“The owner is the sweetest lady ever! I have been coming here to get balloons filled for over a decade. Visited today after moving out of town for some new years balloons. I was able to grab a bunch of other party supplies. VERY HELPFUL, super efficient.”
“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 ! ?”

“It's my new discovery. A huge selection of household goods, some basic clothes and hand bags with excellent prices.Very organized and clean.One Big downsize, which I understand, I feel that I have been watched even followed by employee of this store. People steal so much from stores these days! Still, make me feel very uncomfortable to go to this store.”
“Always understaffed and lines and these women have to do the best they can to move the line. More people needed. Management help them. They deserve breaks but that leaves one cashier. Nice people there.”
“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!!!”
“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”

“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.”
“My experience was good found everything I was looking for there were two staff people both were very helpful and pleasant for sure I would not mind there going again.”
“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.”
