“I love 5 below! I know it's for teenagers but the items you can get for cheap? Unreal! I have purchased Xmas gifts for coworkers, birthdays, stocked up on my pups shampoo/body wipes/ear cleaning solution also they have the cutest dog tees for fur babies and toys too. Recently, 5 below stepped up their scent game as well. I purchased a Marshmallow muse, Forbidden Cherry by Vaile and White Violet by Surface. They all smell amazing and are better than a few of my expensive ones as well. I also purchased a yoga mat that I have needed for a while. Adorable design and pink! What girl girl doesn't like that? Staff is super friendly, helpful and always cheerful when you come in to purchase items or even looking. Definitely my go to place for inexpensive but cute items.”
“The best!!! The fill up a bag for $8 was my favorite part! I also found a brass candle holder finally!!! (Been looking for MONTHS) Great thrift experience! Keep it up guys.”
“This one of my favorite Bealls Outlet stores in the area. I shop there from time and aways find good quality clothes, shoes, toiletries and home goods. The staff is friendly and helpful and check out always efficient.”
“Ollie's is a fun place to go. I definitely see it as a bargain hunters Paradise. There's really nothing fancy about the place, but they do have good deals and it's definitely worth going back to, as the merchandise seems to change very quickly. I've shopped at both the St Pete and Clearwater locations. And like them equally as well. If you're looking for some good buys especially for housewares, and everyday needs along with garden and yard type things you'll love this place.”
“This isn’t your normal dollar store. A lot of the store is more than a dollar but this is a great store with some really good deals. They also have a lot of random stuff so definitely worth stopping in.”
“Where else can you find Pocky Sticks and other hard to find candies, a mushroom themed t-shirt, phone case, hair gel, and even some dumbells for excercise? Yup, this place! I love how friendly the associates are. They always make sure youre finding what youre after. Its almost ironic because you never TRULY looking for something specific when going to 5 Below. You just wander around until you've found a potpourri of items in your cart. Great place to find gifts also!”
“Kaden was the cashier who waited on me and was the only one up front. I had just run in to get a couple things because I went early for an appointment. Kayden greeted every single person that walked through the door with a pleasant hello and asked if he could assist with anything. I also observed him go down the shoe aisle to ask a woman if she was getting all the help that she needed and just overall awesome customer service that you don’t see these days. I used to be in human resources for a large retail company in the area and we would’ve given anything to have an associate like Kayden. He is definitely worth his weight in gold and I hope he gets some type of recognition. He deserves it.”
“To the Management Team at Five Below, I wanted to take a moment to express how truly impressed I am with the staff at your location in Pinellas park, FL — particularly Courtney and Ansley. Their warmth, patience, and genuine care, especially with children, make this store stand out above all others. I drive 25 minutes past multiple other Five Below locations just to shop at this one, and it is entirely because of the people who work there. For nearly six months, I was on a mission to find some highly sought-after toys for my kids. I visited countless stores during that time, but your team kept me coming back again and again. Throughout that journey, I called the store multiple times a week to check on inventory, and not once did I feel like a burden. Every single time, the employees answered with patience and kindness — which means more to me than I can express. That level of consistent, genuine customer service is rare, and it did not go unnoticed. This location has earned every bit of my loyalty. I will absolutely continue shopping here and recommending it to friends and family. Please make sure Courtney, Ansley, and the entire team know how much their dedication is appreciated — Courtney especially, whose patience and professionalism over the past six months truly made a difference. Five stars — without question.”
“Dropped my shades in the toilet at a restaurant…and sure enough $🌲Dollar Tree to the rescue for replacements! Just as cute but not as expensive! Also snagged a beach bucket/shovel and some toddler shades for $5.08 and the cashier super personable and nice, makes a huge difference when out and about on my only days off!”
“They were such a great help to me during the pre-storm of Hurricane Milton. They were so very busy but stopped to help me look around and find a few items that I was in need of along with others. They were very professional. Again helpful and I appreciate them stopping to help me when so many others were in need and looking for items as well. Thank you I would definitely recommend this five below 100%. Again, thank you for your help.”
“Always find a great value on many a thing on my list of items to buy. Today's venture was for the huge pottery glazed planters that were a fraction of the prices at big box stores.”
“This dollar tree is perfectly stocked, clean, organized, excellent staff, manager, cashiers. I’ve been to probably six different ones and this one is a five star.”
“The employees were pleasant. Good variety of food especially meats. The store was clean. I did think some of their prices were a little high. Their brand of potato chips are the best.”
“I definitely would be lost without this store. All of the managers/employees are all awesome. They have the cleanest most organized store they for sure get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Me and my mom shop at this family dollar frequently and also do Walmart Online Delivery/Shopping orders...This store is always well stocked and cleaned...Definitely a go to place to shop for all types of stuff for us!”
“Seldom find the same item again. When you find a bargain, do not think it twice, just get it. When that item is gone, it's gone! The prices have gone up but i guess everywhere. Very friendly customer service.”
“The store manager Eric was exceptional!! He helped me so much with decorations for my daughter in law’s baby shower. They fill helium balloons if you bring them in as well as have awesome balloons and party decorations for sale. The pricing is fair reasonable and he was so honest about some of my balloons just needing air instead of trying to sell me helium that wouldn’t work for what we bought on Amazon. All the associates are super friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend this store!!!”
“I really like my little Save A Lot store. I was going to order a pizza but thought about how many groceries I could get for the price of one delivered pizza! So I got my lazy butt up and got a frozen pizza and 3 bags of other essentials! Plus they were the only Grocery store that stayed open all thru the Pandemic. They are essential to us poor folk!?”
“First time to visit. Place.is massive hahahaha. Loads of employees scattered on the floor working the merchandise. Not many shoppers when I was there mid morning on a Monday.”
“Love this store!! Great prices! Super cute women's clothes! Nice men's and children's clothing ...Variety of Shoes...Awesome seasonal finds..Great housewares section...Staff is always so nice and friendly...”
“This is a great dollar tree with a lot of stock! but the guy at the register with long hair is literally so miserable idk what’s wrong with him but he shouldn’t be in a position where he has to interact with customers, but a jobs a job i guess…”
“The only reason I ever come to the dollar store is because vera she is amazing and always turns my upside down day into smiles she is so nice to everyone with no judgment if she leaves ill remove my business here. I love vera Thankyou for being a positive light”
“Love this store, you can find reasonably priced items, decorations for most except never any Black History products, EVER! Lots of school supplies or birthday products. Nothing ever regarding African Americans or a few other ethnicities.”
“Love shopping @ save a lot, good prices with good produce and meat selections. Best staff, only now missing the best help and educator about store/product/anything former assistant manager Keisha”
“Purchased a washing machine and dryer from H&H Overstock and we are very pleased. Jack is very knowledgeable and was a huge help with making sure we got the products that worked best for us with a great price and manufacturer warranty. Will be purchasing all my appliances here!!”
“The Gentleman behind the counter at this Largo location was very kind. He was running the whole store and had such a kind, polite, patient, demeanor, that I just had to recognize him for that. I went to 3 different 5 below today and he was the star of all of the employees!”
“My favorite Dollar General. There’s a man who works there (he has a gravelly voice) that is the best for customer service. He will do whatever he can to make sure you get what you need. If it’s not on the shelf, he’ll search until he finds it. He makes sure you get all the discounts at checkout. He’s a gem of an employee and this store is lucky to have him.”
“I spent weeks comparing furniture manufacturers before placing an order here. Glad I did because the quality difference is noticeable immediately. The drawers glide softly, the handles feel secure, and nothing looks cheaply made. Even the packaging was done properly so every item arrived without damage or scratches.”
“This is my neighborhood store and I'm here at least 3 times a week sometimes. The staff has gotten to know me and my family and even recognize my son and his likes at local restaurants, because they're your neighbors too. They're also probably overworked and underpaid. If you're just stopping in and they're a little frazzled, please don't base your impression off one visit. I guarantee regular customers would say something different because they truly care.”
“October 2nd around 9:00 in the morning the two women working were the best customer service I've ever had at a Dollar general.. they went above and beyond and we're super kind and I really appreciated their customer service!!!”
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.
