Dollar Stores in Villa Rica, GA

“Came to this dollar tree two days in a row when I came out to Villa Rica with my husband on a business trip because it was such a pleasant experience the first time.
For one, it was the biggest store we both had ever been too. They had a HUGE selection of holiday items and items that you just don’t see in your average DT. And we’ve visited ones all over the metro area. To top it off the people that worked here were incredibly friendly and sweet and I wish I knew the name of the cashier so I could give her a shout out on here. But she checked us out both nights, and we were her last customers both nights and typically in the normal stores we visit in the city, they’ll lock the doors ten minutes early or give you the evil eye when your shopping and checking out ( I suppose because they’re closing and just can’t be bothered to check out ONE more customer out since it’s the end of thier shift or something, SMH). Anyways I wish all DT had this employee- she’s really what made the experience significantly better than my usual experiences shopping at this corporation and it was pivotal enough that I wanted to take the time to share my experience on here.
Also just to mention- because I saw a few reviews on this place being dirty and unstocked etc and that was just NOT the status quo of this store anymore; so bravo! On such a turnaround!”

“Dollar General is a convenient spot for grabbing everyday essentials without spending a lot. The store is usually clean and organized enough to find what you need quickly, from household items to snacks and basic groceries. I like that it’s easy to pop in and out, especially if you’re in a hurry.

The prices are very budget-friendly, making it a great option for quick shopping trips. The staff is generally friendly and helpful, which adds to the experience.

On the downside, the selection can be limited compared to bigger stores, and some items may not be the freshest, especially in the food section. It can also get a bit crowded during busy times, making the aisles feel tight.

Overall, Dollar General is a solid choice for affordable basics when you don’t need a huge variety.”

“Friendly helpful staff. Good sales & stock choices. After a couple of months of inquiring for specific items not Carri by Dolar General the store is now carrying it. Pricing has s good too.”

“Full disclosure: This store has been an integral part of my life for many years. Some residents of Villa Rica may not remember the town before Mirror Lake and the boom of commercial and residential building. When Villa Rica was nothing more than a single road going through town that fit the saying, "if you blink you will miss it." When the town's cuisine consisted solely of Ruby's diner and Gilly's BBQ and all of our shopping was done at the Family Dollar. Nestled in the town's oldest shopping center beside Big Buy (now Farmers Furniture) and adjacent to the Villa Theatre (now The Watering Hole) many a family would stop by on a Sunday to get what home goods they would need for the week. This is where I was with my two brothers on a cold January morning in 1989 following a house fire in which we lost everything. Dressed just in our pajamas a neighbor had taken us to Family Dollar to pick up some clothes and shoes since ours had been consumed by the flames along with everything else we owned. I remember the manager was so heartbroken at our condition she insisted on us having some snacks and drinks on her and I've always suspected my neighbor wasn't allowed to pay for our clothes. Years before this was the same Family Dollar my mother drug me back into so I could return a stolen pack of gum and face the wrath of the cashier, who did nothing except give me a disappointed look that was worse than the whipping my mom gave me later. Now as an adult I can come into the store and if I look really hard and squint my eyes I can imagine being there as a kid those long years ago. And while the store is still there everything else around it has changed. If you've been to the Family Dollar recently then you will note that the store is always very clean and organized. The staff seems to take great pride in the care and maintenance of the store and inventory. Unlike at the other dollar stores in town you won't find aisles cluttered with boxes of merchandise and leftover trash. Instead you will find clean aisles and stocked shelves. If you have trouble finding something the staff is always willing to assist, even if the thing you were looking for is right in front of you. I know I can always count on them having all the movie candy and Mtn Dew I need for those Netflix binge watching weekends, and don't forget the seasonal assortment of yard thingies that either make my yard the tackiest in the neighborhood or makes my neighbors so so jealous 😎. Finally, just by watching the interactions between customers and whom I assume is the manager I get the sense that she really feels the family in Family Dollar. The customers talk to her like they have all been old friends and it brings me back to the Family Dollar I knew as a kid. Sometimes I think Villa Rica lost some of its charm and innocence in the last decades of its growing developments, but then I think I still see it at the Family Dollar.”

“I had an issue with some fans that I bought. The first box was perfect. All the parts were there, the assembly was really easy, and it ran quietly just as advertised. I take out the second box expecting the same experience, but parts were missing. I go to the third box I bought thinking OK I’ll just take one back and will be OK. The third box was missing one important part that made a fan work, which was the motor. I took both back and explained that even though I could probably put an additional fan together between the two boxes, I did not want to take that chance given that meant that it might be used when I was buying new. Tom went and checked to see if they were any other fans of that type and allowed me to verify that all the parts were there before I left the store. He provided the discount and even threw in a desktop fan for good measure to make it right. He went above and beyond in helping me get what I needed. I have been a customer at the store for years, and especially after the care that I received today, I will continue being a customer at this establishment.”

“Decent prices and selection. Employees seem spread a little thin, it seems every time I go in there they're putting up stock and it takes them a few seconds to get to the register.”

“It's kinda small but it's because they have a lot of stuff... it's organized though. The woman there was working by herself...had to do everything on her own... that's stressful, but she was still very sweet regardless.”

“The young African American gentleman who works the evening shift deserves a raise. He was working alone at this location this afternoon. His work ethic and positivity were remarkable. He was working two registers simultaneously with full composure to make sure the long line kept moving!”
