“Shopping at Five Below is like entering a wonderland for kids—and let’s be honest, for adults too! The employees are super nice and helpful, making me feel like royalty as I navigate through aisles packed with toys, cards, collectibles, and books. My kids could spend hours digging for the coolest prank toys. I’m pretty sure they think they’re on a top-secret mission to find the ultimate whoopee cushion! And the prices? Let’s just say my wallet loves it here as much as my kids do. With so much to choose from, you can always find something hilarious or awesome—it's like a treasure hunt every time! If you haven't checked it out yet, grab the kids and prepare for a shopping spree filled with laughter (and maybe a little chaos)!”
“Always a pleasant visit. Deals here, deals there. Not dolla no mo but buck n a quarter. Still worth the one hundred twenty five cents per item. All upcoming holidays items are stocked. Go there now”
“This store is clean and fully stock with a lot of product. the staff seems very helpful. the prices are similar to others stores, they have been effected by inflation.”
“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.”
“Orderly store on a Saturday afternoon. When I first came I saw a sign that store was closed due to a power outage. But soon enough they opened the doors and I was able to get in and shop.”
“Great selection, the best I've ever seen at a Dollar Tree. Awesome staff! Tom, Jamie and the woman manager (didn't catch her name) were all great. They deserve raises. I spent 30+ minutes in the store and saw several interactions and all were pleasant, including mine. They assisted me with 12 balloons during a busy time and they were kind to everyone. Great location, selection and staff. Highly recommend.”
“They are always so nice and helpful... I would get a job there but I know I would spend my check there.. I'm glad they're so close I could walk there if I had energy”
“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!!”
“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.”
“I received excellent service from the staff member assisting at the self-checkout. She was impressively well-versed and offered great suggestions for my next shop. She literally made my day.”
“I have genuinely never been to a Dollar Tree this clean and organized. Their selection was unmatched! Jo was lovely and greeted every single client that walked in. She also made small talk with all of the customers she was checking out as well as asking if we found everything okay. I’ve never experienced such amazing customer service at a dollar store! This one will be my new go-to.”
“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.”
“We go to this DG often as it is so convenient, organized, clean and friendly. Many DGs we have been to are messy and dirty. Thanks to Andy and the staff for working so hard”
“No se como hicieron pero me robaron mi saldo de mi tarjeta de EBT teniendo yo conmigo la tarjeta y lo gastaron todo en su tienda, no sé si están coludidos o no pero no les recomiendo usar su tarjeta ahí.”
“Extremely clean and organized dollar tree! The managers and young man took pride when I informed them of how nice and tidy the store was. By far the best Dollar Tree for miles from Lombard to Aurora. Bartlett has the best dollar tree. Great Job!”
“This store right here with the new Group of Employees right now is outstanding. All of them go above and beyond the manger there she’s so great so welcoming very helpful, I use to not look forward going to the dollar store but they make it so enjoyable ! Thank you to the whole team.”
“NEWISH LOCATIONS WELL STOCKED STORE (MORE TO OFFER THAN THE ELK GROVE IL LOCATION) EXCEPT FOR THE SODA VENDING REFRIGERATOR IN THE FRONT END. NICE CASHIER THANKS FOR THE SINGLES (DOLLARS) MUCH NEEDED AND TRULY APPRECIATED!!!”
“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 work up the street and noticed a lot of people shopping Golden Bins, walking out of the store with bags of goodies. I decided to take a peak and to my surprise they have all my favorite things, I'm talking cologne home goods wiper blades snacks head phones pillows small tools and storage/ organization items. This week I scored car accessories, two heavy chrome door handles for my remodel and dude wipes for the low low!! I've gotten to know the man upfront working the register and I must say that he has a heart of Gold. Fun store to shop for treasure and I always get great priced quality stuff. Special thanks to Frank”
“Gabriel went above and beyond to help me during my visit! He was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and he made sure I found exactly what I needed. It’s rare to meet someone who genuinely cares about providing such great service, and Gabriel is the reason this location stands out. Thank you for making my shopping experience such a positive one!”
“I placed an order online to pick up in store and David and the other employee on staff were super friendly and helpful. David was very professional and knowledgeable about the store policies and made it very easy to fix an issue I made with my order. The whole experience was easy and convenient, i will definitely order to this store above other dollar tree stores in the event I need to make another large purchase. Thank you David!!”
“Dollar Tree is a great place to grab everyday items for just $1.25. You can find snacks, cleaning supplies, school stuff, and even some hidden gems if you look around. It’s not fancy, but it’s super affordable. Some locations are better stocked and cleaner than others, but overall, it’s a good spot to save money.”
“They were well stocked. Items were where needed and not thrown around all over the store. There weren’t boxes all over, waiting to be attended to. They had a nice variety of things I haven’t seen at other locations. The employees seemed to be doing their job, nothing more nothing less.”
“There were some problem areas but for the most part the cashier was nice, the store on this particular day was well stocked and the prices are far less than say A FAMILY DOLLAR. This is a NEWER LOOKING LOCATION so it has a newish feel some of their locations have an outdated and extremely messy feel. So I had a decent experience will be returning in the near future.”
“found everything that I needed for summer at a low price. The cashier reminded me a little bit of my mother. She told people to empty out their handbasket and replace it with the others by the door. Lol complete with the stern Polish accent.”
“Walmart Pharmacy - High Quality Best Price I frequently visit Walmart. Good store for everyone's requirements.Easy to locate things.Specially Walmart Pharmacy is good.I visited Walmart for reading glasses. I was disappointed when I didn't find 2.25 reading glasses there. Online it was showing available but in store it was not showing any sign of 2:25 I took picture of that too .”
“I Don't shop at Walmart alot But the one has friendly staff , they're never things when I go and it's so easy and it's easy , nice trip to the store i'm disabled, and I always am able to get the electric shopping carts.They are so nice there.”
“$ Dollar Tree. I'm always excited to visit Dollar Tree Always check what is new in one dollar. Many things are like you can't imagine in one dollar. Today good variety of Christmas ornaments was there. I filled my card with Christmas Good variety of Christmas cards too. Beautiful vases, mixing bowls, dinnerware, picture frames available. Good place for the money I spent . Highly recommend and will visit soon”
“Stockers are constantly filling shelves and the checkout folks are friendly... many items didn't increase with the latest price hike and they have even more great deals at $3 and $5”
“There was this one old lady Victoria was her name gave us the dollar tree lotto ticket she was such a sweet heart and helped us save a dollar on party goods and gave us a bandage to from her pocket just overall she was the best and I hope she gets a raise!!!”
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.

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.
