“I enjoy stopping by this secondhand store. It's not very big, but the deals and quality of the items is top notch. I mean, I got a beautiful glass top side table for 10 bucks. Plus, their support for hospice makes this place even better. Check it out!”
“One of my favorite places to shop at. The store is clean, well stocked and organized. 99% of the time I find what I'm looking for. The prices are lower than the grocery store here in town, can he lower than Walmart and comparable to Dollar Tree on some items. Although I prefer DG items over DT items based on quality. Obviously, the refrigerated and frozen section is a huge bonus for me. I have specific items that I buy on a consistent basis because of the price. Significantly lower than the grocery store and slightly lower than Walmart. But hey, every little bit counts. I have to mention Alexis. She's absolutely fantastic. She's so friendly and she actually remembered me which made my day. She definitely deserves to be recognized for her level of customer service that goes above and beyond. I want to say why I didn't give it 5 stars. The self check out has become nonexistent. There's only one cashier every single time that I've ever seen and the line of customers is at least 8-10 people long. To me, this is completely unacceptable. What is the purpose of the self check out if customers aren't even allowed to use them? Then we're stuck standing in line with our frozen and refrigerated food for who knows how long. That's my only complaint but it's a big one that needs to be addressed. Is this an individual store issue or a corporate issue? I'd really like to know. Either way, it's not going to keep me from shopping here. See you soon!! By the way, these are the best dumplings and less expensive than the two places that I mentioned. The dish spray is way better than the one at Dollar Tree and it's .25 cheaper.”
“I have never been in a Dollar General store. This place seems to have everything one needs if you run out of things. Though they do not have fresh vegetables and meat they seem to have a small selection of everything else that one would need in a pinch. Nice job!”
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. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
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.
