“As someone who shops at Dollar General regularly and appreciates the brand overall, I was genuinely impressed by this location. It is easily one of the best-maintained and best-organized Dollar General stores I have visited. The difference was noticeable immediately. The parking lot and entrance were clean and well kept, and the inside of the store was similarly impressive. The floors, aisles, shelves, and product displays appeared thoughtfully organized and consistently maintained. The layout made the store easy to navigate, products were presented in a logical and accessible way, and the overall condition of the location reflected a clear effort by the employees and management to maintain a pleasant shopping environment. I was also impressed by the variety of merchandise available. In addition to food, beverages, snacks, refrigerated and frozen items, there was a strong selection of household essentials, toiletries, automotive products, art supplies, workbooks and activity materials, electronics, and other everyday necessities. While Dollar General is not intended to replace a full-service grocery store for every possible meal or specialty item, this particular location seemed to offer a noticeably broader and more useful selection than many others I have visited. The combination of a well-designed layout, cleanliness, organization, product availability, good values, and attentive staff made shopping here genuinely enjoyable and encouraged me to purchase several food, beverage, and household items. Most importantly, the condition of the store reflects very positively on the employees and management responsible for its upkeep. Maintaining a busy retail location at this level takes consistent work, and that effort was evident throughout the property. Overall, this was the best Dollar General I have encountered so far. Excellent job to the team responsible for keeping this location clean, organized, well stocked, and welcoming to customers.”
“The employees at this Dollar general are very kind and funny, Miss Tina, and Michael,(sorry if I spelled your names wrong) are very kind and funny, this place has amazing service, very clean inside, overall I recommend this Dollar general!”
“One of the only stores in Webster, and even though it’s a “chain”, offers that small, hometown feel. Usually well stocked, and willing to assist when needed.”
“This is the nicest Dollar Tree I've ever been to they have many cashiers were needed I was living in Orlando and they say that they're only allowed to have one cashier no matter what business they have and you might have 20 people in front of you it takes 30 to 45 minutes to check out in Orlando horrible stores in Orlando Groveland is number one in my book”
“It's actually not bad for a Dollar General. The staff is polite. The shelves are neat and they don't seem to.have the issues keeping things in stock that others have.”
“FINALLY a great manager and staff. That store has been a dump for years. Now it is looking great. Amazing manager now!! all the stock is out, aisles are clear and it's very shoppable.”
“Today I went to my local Dollar General and it was amazing. The manager taught me how to do my coupon he took his time out just to teach me he’s been working really hard to get this business back up and running in this correct manner and we really appreciate it.”
“There's a few items that I only buy here. I hope they never run out. I'm not saying what they are. Great customer service. Helpful, funny and sweet. Really good deals plus!!coupons”
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. The store is launching new items under its own labels, including ice cream, cinnamon rolls, coffee syrups, and salad dressings. The move comes as store brand sales reached $271 billion in 2024, up nearly 4% from 2023.

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.
