“I love this place especially when I have a sweet tooth. But they have much more than just baked sweets. Prices are very low while retaining standards. Excellent selection of breads, chips and bagels. Even side dishes for meals.”
“Travis was amazing and even though it was close to closing time, he was so kind and joyful to our family and made our shopping experience a 10 out of 10, we will definitely be returning. Thank you so much, Travis. Five below you better give him a raise.!”
“I love roses every time I come to Monroe I stop by! Roses has the best deals on dove soap, washing detergent, and hair products (those are usually the items I get from the store). The customer service is good, and they have consistent staff which is something I love seeing. The store is always clean, and stocked. The bathrooms aren’t the best but they are useable.”
“I just have to say, this is hands-down one of the best Dollar Tree locations I’ve ever visited! Every time I stop in, I’m honestly surprised (in the best way) by how organized, clean, and fully stocked this store is. You can tell that the team here takes pride in maintaining the space, and it really shows. The aisles are wide and clutter free, so it’s easy and relaxing to browse, which isn’t always the case at other discount stores. The layout is neat, the shelves are consistently stocked, and everything is in the right place so you’re not wandering around hunting for items. From seasonal décor to craft supplies, household items, and snacks, I always find what I’m looking for and more! One of my favorite things about this location is how peaceful and pleasant the shopping experience is. It’s never been overcrowded when I go in, which makes it feel calm and unhurried. You can take your time, look around, and enjoy the hunt for hidden gems without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by crowds. The staff is always kind and helpful too. On multiple visits I’ve had friendly interactions, whether it was someone helping me find a product or just offering a cheerful greeting at checkout. That level of kindness and consistency makes a big difference and keeps me coming back. I also noticed they do a great job keeping seasonal displays updated and stocked — the craft section in particular was well maintained and had tons of cute items for DIYs, decorating, or even small gifts. I grabbed a few items for my real estate business projects and was thrilled with the selection and price. All in all, this Monroe Dollar Tree is a hidden gem and a great example of what a Dollar Tree can be when it’s managed with care and pride. I highly recommend this location if you’re looking for a stress-free, affordable shopping experience with a great selection and a warm vibe.”
“This is my favorite Dollar general it's local right down the street from my house. Art is the store manager he's amazing he's always there to help he's just getting the right stuff in place that's a problem out here in the country nobody wants to work.”
“People are kind and very helpful I pulled out my car and they help me with my stuff even if may I ask ask me if I wanted a receipt for my taxes which of course I did LOL”
“This Dollar General is really nice I found a lot of cute items for my home, but what really makes this store so nice is the cashier Kim, great customer service she has a beautiful smile & very helpful. When she wasn’t at the register she was sweeping. I will be back!!”
“Customer service is always 5 star these ladies that work here are always in such good moods and are very helpful every time I walk in the store. Thats almost everyday. Between buying dog food, cigs, cokes, and red bulls for my mother they are super easy to deal with.”
“Monroe Location. Friendly and helpful employees. The store stays clean and organized. Shelves are fully stocked and employees actually take the time to help you. Never have I witnessed a cashier on their cell phone! (As seen in most stores)”
“Wanted to say thank you to the manager who helped my dad after he was involved in a wreck! He forgets her name but wanted to make sure she was acknowledged for the kindness and helpfulness during that time. God bless you!!”
“I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge this family Dollar in Monroe Georgia as a customer one of the main things that’s important to me is a clean store, helpful and friendly employees. I would like to take this moment to recognize one outstanding employee at the store I believe she’s the general manager, and her name is Amanda. I came into the store a couple days ago looking for a specific item. As soon as I turn the aisle this young lady was there to assist me. I was very impressed with her knowledge of product as well as her ability to maneuver through the isles in the store to assist me when you’re a senior citizen you don’t get a lot of help. I found this young lady very delightful. She seems to be very proud of her store, and the people that work with her when I went to the register one of the other young ladies, a cashier I don’t remember her name was very kind and bringing up all the things that I had bought and closing, I would like to say this store is outstanding the employees are very kind and thoughtful.”
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.

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.
