“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.”
“They had a lot of cool stuff and stayed pretty busy but the people that works there were very polite. They had a lot of new cool arts and craft things which I loved.”
“Much rather drive the few extra miles to visit the Coleman store which is clean, well stocked and the employees are kind?. Unlike my store in Lake Panasoffke which is absolutely filthy and the store manager is very rude ?”
“Great store but needs to update their hours instead of just put a piece of paper on the door, not everyone is local so how would they know. Otherwise clean and friendly people”
“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.
