“There's a lot of stuff to buy at good price. Halloween decorations, Christmas decorations. Gift bags, birthday cards, plates, glasses, mugs. Trash bags, ziploc bags, home cleaners, air fresheners. Dog and cat food, and more.”
“Our favorite ❤️ Costco location. Not quite as crazy as the one on rte 59 or Oakbrook although it is getting more and more popular. Friendly employees. Caveat They don’t seem to carry as much merchandise as the other two eg seasonal items”
“Amazing selection of decorations and pots. It reminds me Garden Ridge before it was bought out by The Home Store. The prices are 10/10. Employees were very nice and welcoming.”
“I love Five Below. I get all gifts and extras there. I love the cook books and the exercise equipment I can use at home. They have great deals on candy, soda, chips and other food items as well.”
“Came on Valentines Day with our family and the owner stopped us to vote for our favorite decorated booth and gave us $100 swap bucks (free money to spend!) Our kids had a blast finding stuff to spend it on and got SO MUCH”
“Good store but they are always setting something up and they're a lot of things happening at once so it's kinda overwhelming. They do offer very good decor for the spooky season and have funny T shirts. The prices are NOT 5 and below. A lot of the good decor is about $7.00. They do have good deals on candy. Overall, the selection of items was nice, high quality, and very suitable for the spooky season.”
“A variety of items. Sometimes what you see is what you get and they don’t have anymore The pricing is really really appealing. Every time I’ve gone there I find the things that I wanted and a couple few surprises They run sales in 15% off and do all kinds of additional things to make the purchases even more affordable Give it a shot you might be surprised, pleasantly surprised!!”
“Neat and orderly and found items I saw on the marketing email. Found some block succulent for my collection. I was not reminded to enter my email so I did not get the electronic receipt nor the 10% discount. All the other fb I visited mentions this, save for this one.”
“Jessica I believe she’s a manager is amazing. She goes above and beyond. This location is farther from me but when ever I’m out this way I stop here! Thank you Jessica for helping me out today with my returns and exchanges I felt over whelmed and u made me feel better about the situation!”
“Had a chance to visit this location and it fares along with the other 5B in the city and suburbs. They also have the succulent block I was looking for. Neat and organized and the staff is amazing: friendly and helpful. Got some sage and palo santo smudges.”
“Shoutout to Lynn for great customer service. She thoughtfully separated my food from my cleaning products and even double-bagged the household items without me having to ask. She was polite, efficient and clearly attentive. It’s the simple things that make a difference and this really made my day.”
“They finally updated their location about a year ago. This used to be one of my favorite DTs before the pandemic, but they started "Falling Off" years before the pandemic. The location started to feel "Low Budget" meaning, they barely had anything and the stock was always low. I actually stopped going to this one. But they are now back on track and the stock is always healthy.”
“One of my favorite places to go for some old-fashioned candy bars, assorted candies or some late-night snacks. The staff is always really nice to talk to. I think they have done a much better job clearing the isles. Everything seems to be in the right place now. The store itself seems to be cleaner nowadays.”
“I recently visited a Dollar Tree location, and I was genuinely impressed by how clean and well-organized the store was from the moment I walked in. Many people expect discount stores to be a bit cluttered or chaotic, but this Dollar Tree completely defied that stereotype. The floors were spotless, the aisles were tidy, and every shelf looked thoughtfully arranged, making it incredibly easy to find exactly what I needed without feeling overwhelmed. What stood out most was how neatly the products were grouped by category. Seasonal items were displayed in an attractive, easy-to-browse layout, while everyday essentials like cleaning supplies, snacks, and personal care items were clearly labeled and fully stocked. It made the shopping experience smooth and enjoyable, almost more like a boutique discount store than a typical dollar shop. The checkout area was also clean and efficiently managed. Even when a small line formed, the staff moved things along quickly, all while keeping their stations organized and free of clutter. That level of attention to detail really added to the overall positive atmosphere of the store. Overall, this Dollar Tree exceeded my expectations. The cleanliness, organization, and thoughtful layout made shopping simple, fast, and surprisingly pleasant. I’ll definitely be returning.”
“My go to for Halloween ? decorations for office and home. When you shop early in season you can really find some pretty cool finds. Not to mention the price is just right.”
“Very cool. They had little pop up laundry bags which is convenient since I am on the road a lot and usually just throw my laundry in a Totes bag but maybe specified laundry bags will be better They also had a little purple travel kit with tooth brush bobby pins bandaids and at least 4 antiseptic wipes among other things.”
“The staff is friendly. The store has some of everything. I always go for one particular thing and end up coming out with several things that I did not plan on buying.”
“Overall 4/5 starts, great store low prices, some lady kept throwing stuff away that doesn’t work there, and someone said “she’s catholic, what do expect!” Which made me crack up. Great gag gifts and accessories, overall 4/5!”
“Its box trucks only . Dock door not for semi trucks its crazy place for sami truck. you gonna back up all the way to the street there's no way you can pull in. No, turn around. Take ur time plz truckers. Quick unloading they open 10AM”
“Amazing prices! You have to come check it out this store has been here for YEARS! I never knew so please moms lots of kids clothing for the whole family at amazing prices! :)”
“I shopped at Dollar Tree yesterday and I must admit, it's been a very long time since I have encountered a conversational cashier. Most of the time, it's awkward silence and blank stares. Jacob at this location, was unlock most young people I have encountered. He was friendly and I feel like he enjoys his job! Great young man.”
“Love this dollar store. Has so many nicer quality and just more varitety of party favors, goodie bag items, decor, food, etc. Just really sad the prices went up. Doesn't feel like a dollar store anymore when you need 10-20 items+.”
“Dollar Tree is a great place to grab everyday items for just $1.25. You can find snacks, cleaning supplies, school stuff, and even some hidden gems if you look around. It’s not fancy, but it’s super affordable. Some locations are better stocked and cleaner than others, but overall, it’s a good spot to save money.”
“Good variety of Mexican candy, decorations, home goods - a surprisingly large selection of a little bit of everything. I very much appreciated that both employees wearing masks. The two women worked very hard; they were always in the aisles straightening things, or helping customers. It's nice to shop at a store that isn't a corporate chain.”
“I am giving 5 stars to the manager, tall cashier dude that's always present, and the older woman that typically closes because these workers bust their humps! To the contrary I want to say to the owner, general manager,etc I was in this evening around 6:48 pm. The cashier ( no name tag) wearing white jogging pants and a black top should be taught to not be holding a customer's money and texting... I wanted to scream from how unprofessional it was just standing there staring at her for what seemed like FOREVER to please put her phone down and finish my transaction. As soon as I walk up she's just texting completely ignoring me and my entire interaction was awkward. I look forward in seeing the manager whenever I walk in as she is incredibly helpful and pleasant and I could've right there and then called for her however she was busy putting the price tags on throughout the entire store trusting this young lady and this cashier should be written up. Next time if it happens again I will be certain to say something. If it were my job, I'd be out of a job, period. I did not appreciate spending $43.00 to give her $45.00 and wait forever to get my change that probably was about 3 minutes total just staring at her and she gave no care because obviously it's welcomed. I have seen the manager at this location train and she is stern, hard pressed while being gentle and extremely patient so I know it is not happening in her presence. We all have things going on at home, etc but that's what a break is for!! As a professional, please do not respond with, " I'm sorry to hear this. Please email me or please understand.... ( Whatever reason is given it is not good enough)" In my customer service career as a young cashier I had to learn the hard way by receiving a write up, having my phone confiscated by management until the end of my shift or being sent home without pay. I do understand that this generation is pretty much... RELAXED to a certain degree but it is common sense, " the customer service is the first contact, is responsible for creating that warm and inviting impression to keep customers coming back vs to their competitors, are responsible for adhering to their employment hand book guidelines of what is acceptable and isn't and the customers wanting to come back purchasing inventory is what creates profit and raises" Please, get it together. Give your Manager and the old lady a raise as they have been the consistent employees in that store since I moved to Wood Dale years ago. Stop hiring anyone and if you do ensure they have common knowledge of what is expected or train them properly so that these young folks understand.”
“Came in at the end of the night to get a birthday card. Naomi was the cashier, great young lady, great customer service! Very pleasant not rude or pushy. Will be back.”
“I was surprised with this Dollar Tree! Very clean, organized and full of products for everything. Never felt this way in a dollar tree store before. Christina was calm and polite in the cashier. Very nice!”
“There were some problem areas but for the most part the cashier was nice, the store on this particular day was well stocked and the prices are far less than say A FAMILY DOLLAR. This is a NEWER LOOKING LOCATION so it has a newish feel some of their locations have an outdated and extremely messy feel. So I had a decent experience will be returning in the near future.”
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.
