“This particular DG is extremely clean and in order. Everything is in its place. They are very friendly and helpful. The manager here is worth every penny that he or she is paid. It truly is a pleasure to shop here.”
“My first time here. Reminds me of a Big Lots or an Ollie's. Discounted prices for new items. The items may be slightly imperfect, or near expiration, or possibly of low quality. We found several great finds that were priced very reasonably and we couldnt determine any imperfection. Very pleased with this visit. Will be back.”

“Tiffany at the Dawnville Rd store in Dalton GA is a fantastic employee! She is always cheerful and wants to help customers. There is several of your stores in my area, but I have to say, I mostly go to this particular store because of her.”
“I have been shopping at this store since it opened and it’s gotten a lot better with the newest management. The old management (Bekka, and her crew) were terrible. The new girl in charge and her crew are a lot better and always friendly to customers. Idk why everyone downs on them so much. They can only do what corporate allows and only when and how corporate wants and their doing their best. I will continue to shop here until it closes its doors. As far as the low stock issue people are having that is also not their fault, they keep having to change suppliers and brands constantly because of inflation and the government changing stuff. People need to have more common sense and realize that a lot of things are out of the employees hands. There doing there best.”

I highly recommend y’all go see her.”
“As I've stated before "the Dollar Store is a great alternative to Walmart." I didn't actually go into this Dollar Store so I can't really rate it as a individual store. But my rating is based on the fact that all Dollar Stores are basically the same with the exception of DG Markets.”
“Under new management and it’s amazing. Everything is getting stocked and clean. New employees being trained so be patient with them but they are the nicest ever. This is what we needed!!!!”
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.

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.
