“Store looks a little older but the cashier Joselyn helped me search and search for some medication my wife needed. Most people would have the customer look but she stuck with me until she found it! Thanks Joselyn for going above and beyond. Good to see there’s good people left out there!”
“I recently visited the Five Below in Jacksonville,IL and was impressed by the spaciousness and variety of products offered. The large parking lot made finding a spot a breeze, and the store itself felt well-organized and easy to navigate.True to its name, everything in the store is priced at $5 or less, making it a great place to find affordable treasures for the whole family. While the selection of dress materials might be limited, kids will be thrilled with the vast array of toys, story books, and creative supplies. I even spotted yoga mats and dumbbells for those looking for budget-friendly fitness accessories.The friendly and helpful employees added to the positive shopping experience. They were readily available to answer questions and assist with finding specific items.Overall, Five Below is a fun and affordable option for anyone looking for something new or a small treat. While some might find the dress material selection lacking, the vast array of products for kids and the friendly atmosphere make it a great place to visit, especially for families.”
“After I got off work I had to stop at the store for milk. I had my kiddo with me and when we were up at the register, he picked out a kinder joy candy. I went to pay and my EBT wouldn’t cover his candy. The sweet lady that was checking my out paid for his candy because I didn’t have the money. A huge shoutout to her. Thank you so much ❤️”
“That's a nice little store but I do believe that the name of the place is kind of misleading because nothing is a dollar anymore and plus they've added items priced more than that. Sometimes it's hard to figure out how much something is until you get to the register or until you find a price scanner. Sometimes you can find some really good stuff in here. I know I have.”
“5 star to the employees!!very friendly and helpful!!!!need to get all there names to make a ton of survey.its my 3d time in the store and I was empress!!manager was very approachable.diffinitely my favorite dollar general store now.i can’t wait their done with remodelling!!!”
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.

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.
