“Been going to the store since they’ve opened and I’ll tell ya what it’s like a treasure hunt going into not only this location but with any Grocery Outlet store. You see we’re called a Bargain market for a reason, you never know what you’ll find at one or at any location at a particular time or a better price elsewhere, it depends on what they have available to order at a time. It sure doesn’t stop me from shopping in there because if I don’t find one of the things I was looking for, I’m at least walking away with something better or giving something new a try. If your going to try kale chips or mushroom coffee, this is the place to get it and try it and well if ya don’t like it, it’s not to much out of your pocket to either give away or throw away if it’s that terrible. I shop at the Overland Grocery Outlet first and for most then if I can’t live without it I’ll go to another store. Like I said before I’ve been going there since it opened and even got my Mom and her friend that both live in Emmett to start and continue to shop there for the produce for juicing. I have just recently been back and I walked out of there with 2 bags of grocery and a bag of deli products and a 12pk of non alcoholic beer and it was less than $55. Can’t really say that about any other grocery stores with decent products like that.? Grocery outlet Bargin market ?”
“My wife and I stopped by Grocery Outlet looking for some large flower pots. We had two very specific shapes and colors in mind, and while the store had exactly what we wanted, they were buried under several layers of other heavy pots. Raul and Patty jumped right in to help. They spent quite a bit of time moving and sorting through a huge stack of pots to find the exact ones we were after. These weren't little pots either. They were some of the biggest ones in the store. I honestly felt a little bad watching them do all that work, but they never acted inconvenienced and kept a positive attitude the whole time. What really stood out to me was that they didn't just point us in the right direction and move on. They genuinely wanted to help us find exactly what we came for. That kind of customer service feels pretty rare these days. It's obvious that Raul and Patty take pride in what they do and care about the people they help. The same was true of everyone else we talked to in the store. Every employee we encountered was friendly, helpful, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. That's not something you see everywhere. Experiences like this are exactly what make me want to come back and shop more often. Prices matter, but great people matter too, and your team made a lasting impression on us. Thanks to Raul, Patty, and the rest of the crew for going above and beyond. We really appreciated it.”
“I had such a wonderful experience shopping at Dollar Tree thanks to the cashier, Mo. From the moment I walked up to the register, he greeted me with a smile and a genuinely kind attitude. His positive energy made my day. Dollar Tree is lucky to have such a wonderful employee!”
“Laurie and the great folks at the store have staged the whole shop, and it’s lovely! If you haven’t visited in a while both State Street shops have great finds!”
“Customer service here is amazing! Not sure the gals name but I would assume she’s a manager, she was so nice and helpful and just seemed happy to be there. It was a breath of fresh air shopping here!”
“This is a beautiful store I come here a lot to be provided with the necessities and most else. With my bare hands and many scented candles did I build my home and I couldn’t have done it without the excellent customer service. I can tell all the employees are married to their jobs and would never seek employment elsewhere. A tale of woe is free and fascination abounds. I have clearness and decision as I prepare to return and I will be buying more scented candles, twice or even thrice tomorrow. I am far from done praising your efforts and I ask that you continue to serve this great nation. I will be back for scented candles. Thank you for kindness and joblessness.”
“Have not been to Ross in many years, I was pleasantly surprised how reasonable some of the lower end prices were for new clothes comparable to what thrift stores are now charging for used stuff. Better prices on socks and underwear than your big discount stores.”
“The store was well maintained. If you have a keen eye, you can find bargains on the shelves, items that should be a lot more than $1.25, in my opinion. They do now have different price levels, so pay attention.”
“Love there products and employees but it is a little confusing when buying something because you never know how you paying because it isn't a dollar anymore.”
“Conveniently located for me. Curtious service. Certainly the best prices on everyday products for home, indoor/outdoor supplies, vehical maintenance items, health & beauty, and party supplies. Their products are priced for a person on a tight budget without compromising on quality.”
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.

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.
