“Great dollar store the only downside is that if it recently rained and they take in all of their outside bins then it looks like the store went out of business 😏”
“I love Ollie's bargains and wide selection of things. They definitely need to hire. Their employees are short staffed and not happy about it or happy to be there. Sad it could be a better experience for all ?”
“Always an adventure in finding amazing items at great prices! The variety is excellent, the store is clean, and there are treasures around every corner! This is our go to location for incentives for the kids! Staff are appraisal kind and very helpful. Atmosphere is very energized and fun.”
“I always find what I want or need here. The associates are very friendly and whenever there's a line they try to open more registers. Just make sure you check your receipt because I did have a cashier ring up several items twice and I didn't catch it until after I got home.”
“I discovered Crafters Square Amigurumi Kit 3 years ago and have hunted them since. I found a few different types at this store which was a plus because not all stores carry them or they are out of stock. They are worth the price too. The icining on the cake was the cashier, Lorraine, and her customer service, wonderful, very friendly and a great conversationalist.”
“An outstanding facility, very clean, very orderly to have so many awesome things to choose from the purchase. The staff was amazing just a good experience all the way around make sure you tell me GaryLee Stanley your sales guy sent you.”
“I LOVE this store and I'm so glad that they opened a location in the greater Jacksonville area. The staff were pleasant and the store was well put together. Good hours and great prices and selection.”
“I have shopped at this Five Below location since it has first opened many years ago and today I was confronted by a worker upfront because I accidentally put an item in a bag without scanning it and I had 2 items that were the same price and I was going to put the other item back because they were both $5.38 cents and I did call customer service about the situation and now the district manager is involved in it and my whole story got twisted while I was talking to the customer service representative and she literally said so you walked out of the store with both items I said no I scanned the other item because it was the same price and I didn't realize I didn't scan the first item and I don't want to be thrown out of this location I'm a good customer and of you do decided to ban me from the store it's fine with me I will shop online or just have my mom or friend go shop in their for me from now on! I'm not a theif I want this to be known! I don't want this to happen to anyone else either because some people do this all the time sometimes you forget you have the item in you're hand and your forgot to scan it”
“Always stocked well, pleasant employees, even though they have a lot of turnover. Check product dates when purchasing. Floss used to be 50 yds now look at it half of that. These companies are getting ridiculous. Might as well just buy full size.”
“Didn't have the product is was looking for in stock currently, but the employees were super nice and even checked in the back for me. The store is probably the cleanest and most organized dollar tree I've been in as well!”
“The store is too crowded and the lines go so slow but I have to take the time to say how sweet the manager Ms Donna is ...she is so sweet and genuine and makes customers feel welcome at the store ..thank you Ms Donna.”
“Hands down the best Dollar General in Jacksonville! The store manager and the workers are absolutely amazing. The shelves are always stocked and tidy. The store is always extremely clean and the environment is very welcoming! 100% recommend to anyone!”
“They should do a fresh rebranding AGAIN BY GOING BACK TO THE STARTING GIMMICK WORD ALMOST WORD FOR WORD BUT........ ♧◇□☆▪︎°`EVERYTHINGS A DOLLAR store”
“What do people expect when they go to a drive thru DONATION CENTER? Then they give it a bad review because they cannot shop there. Well my experience was great. The attendant was helpful and engaging.”
“Wow! It’s been awhile since I came into this Dollar General because of the construction. WOW!! What a difference inside! Kudos to them in improving the environment and overall experience! Worth a stop!”
“Ms. Carol is really sweet and the cashiers in general are really kind. I agree with other reviews that since the base price has gone up, it’s hard to know what the actual price is on most items because only the new items have price stickers or labels on the shelves. I did notice that they installed a price checker right at the front of the store by the entrance so hopefully that helps others. Other than that, great store. They always have everything you need in stock!”
“Daily Dealz in Orange Park is definitely one of those fun spots to shop if you enjoy bargain hunting and finding unexpected treasures. The store has a unique setup where items are constantly rotating, and the prices drop depending on the day of the week. It makes every visit feel like a little adventure, because you never know what you’re going to find—electronics, home goods, toys, kitchenware, and sometimes even high-value items at a fraction of their normal price. The thrill of digging through the bins and scoring a great deal is what makes this place stand out. The staff are usually friendly and helpful, and they do a good job keeping the flow of people organized, especially when it gets busy. The store can be crowded on popular days, which adds to the excitement but also makes it a little hectic at times. Because of the nature of this type of discount store, organization isn’t always perfect, and it can get a bit messy while customers dig through items. That’s part of the experience, though—it’s not a traditional retail store, but rather a place where you have to do some searching to uncover the gems. Prices are definitely the highlight. The savings can be incredible, especially if you happen to visit on the right day. That said, you do need to be patient and willing to sort through a lot of things that may not be of interest.”
“Always clean and well stocked. Items in good condition too (nothing smashed or scratched or broken). Great sales! Use the app for extra discounts. Good beer prices too.”
“I had the most amazing experience today. My cashier stopped everything to help me. She went above and beyond. Her name is Kenya & this store has become my new favorite store because of her. We need more people like Kenya in this world. I just needed to take a moment out of my day to acknowledge what a beautiful experience I had today at Dollar Tree. Thank you Kenya. See you soon. Give this woman a raise!! ??☺️☺️????”
“I've always loved Dollar Tree! I could be a millionaire and I would still shop there. They always have anything and everything you could possibly imagine. They carry plenty of name brand items from food to medications to household items! You get your money's worth no matter what you buy.”
“Typical Family Dollar Store location. Narrow cluttered aisles. Understaffed. The cashier was friendly. I stopped there because it was convenient. Plenty of parking.”
“It's terrible. Only shop there if I'm desperate. Shelves always empty. Carts of merchandise taking up the aisles so it's hard to navigate through it. Frustrating shopping process.”
“It's a good store they need to take out the self serve cash registers that they don't use anymore an make another employee cash register cause the line can get real long. It s only one cash register that they use so the line can get unbearable an you might not have nothing but to items”
“10/10 best dollar-General I've ever been to!Highly recommend the tanning blister removal cream, affordable and high quality unlike other creams!!? There's even chips for the kids!”
“A model store! Always well stocked. Always clutter free. And every staff member friendly and professional. The manager of the store should be a role model for your other Dollar general stores. Prices the same or lower than walmart! My favorite go to store for my daily needs!”
“This is our local DG. We have been coming for years and we always have had a great experience. We appreciate the courtesy and help when asking for any item needed. The store manager Redd is professional, attentive and is always willing to go the extra mile. She is the reason I will continue to come back with my family. Thanks for the great customer service.”
“My Son & I stopped at this Dollar General to get a few things. We were greeted by a Sweet Lady who opened the door for Us. When We went to check out it was the Same young lady that checked us out who opened the door for Us. She was Fantastic, Sweet and gave Us good service and a lot of compliments. Her name is Cookie and she loves People and Her job. She is a Blessing and We’ll be back because of Her. ?”
“Very friendly staff at this location. A staff member saw I was struggling with a bag of cat food and brought it to the counter for me. This above and beyond attitude and made me keep coming back to this location . Thanks!”
“This Dollar General has had a serious glow-up in the last month. It used to be unorganized, cluttered, and honestly pretty dirty, with shelves that were rarely stocked. Now, it feels like a completely different store. One new employee came in and clearly decided the store needed structure and consistency. The store is clean, organized, and actually stocked the way it should be. Shopping is quick instead of frustrating, which is saying something for a Dollar General. To be fair, while some of the other employees may have lacked in the cleaning and organizing department, they have always been friendly and solid when it comes to customer service. That was never the issue. The real problem seemed to be short staffing, which left no extra time for proper restocking, cleaning, or organizing. This is now the first place I go when I need essentials like sugar, laundry detergent, or that one last item to finish a project. Credit where credit is due, the improvement has been noticeable and appreciated.”
“My go to place when I'm in a hurry for a few groceries or household items! I also find great affordable items to decorate Open Houses while I'm picking up the snack and beverages I provide :)”
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.
Daiso, the beloved Japanese retailer known for its variety of affordable household goods, is expanding further in the U.S. market. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
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.
