“I come here very often, great deals on the Family Dollar app for laundry items. Most importantly the staff is very nice and kind and the store is kept clean and organized. I appreciate everybody working there.”
“This is a huge one. Like the one i I once called home.
(Florida. )
Found everything on my list. Tax is not too bad. No hidden fees when paying cash. Not sure on other form of payment.
Wish they would put a DG by here.”
“AMAZING PLACE TO SHOP. EVERYONE HERE IS SUPER FRIENDLY AND OWNER IS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP HIS CUSTOMERS OUT. GREAT PRICES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU CAN FIND EVERYTHING AT HIS STORE.”
“Evelyn is a treasure with a smile that lights up the store. Not sure why my past review is gone but it wasn't a pleasant experience. It's about her character that overfills to her work ethic and situational awareness.”
“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.”
“Great store, very clean and has the best deals!! Great selection of items too, easily the best in the area. Also, the cashiers at the front had superb customer service - I believe their names were Jay and Pete. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area!!!”
“Visit on 12/03/2025 I had a wonderful experience at Dollar Tree thanks to the outstanding customer service from Danny. He is truly amazing—professional, patient, and always willing to help. Danny goes above and beyond to assist customers and makes sure everyone leaves satisfied. His positive attitude and dedication make a big difference. Dollar Tree is lucky to have such an upstanding employee!”
“We was able to get what we needed but the wait time was crazy. The cashier ( name tag said GET) called 3 times for help and when the other cashier came she had an attitude. Before I left I let her know that she was doing an amazing job despite the lack of help.”
“This dollar store is great! It’s clean, well-organized, and has so many useful items at really good prices. The staff is friendly and helpful, and I always find what I need. Definitely one of the best dollar stores around!”
“My money had been stolen from my credit card, i was holding on to a few extra dollars for next months bills, but needed food bad in my freezer as qell as refrigator, so a friend brought me here. I was pleasently surprise to find alot of great fresh foods, to carry me on throughout this week, I just need to hold on. And because of the great supplies here I got a great deal on delious foods. 'Thanks dollar tree, you saved me.'”
“Kudos to Georgia who provided outstanding customer experience during our visit. She greeted me with a smile, helped me find everything I needed, and made checkout quick and easy. She was patient, friendly, and clearly cares about customers having a good experience. Employees like Georgia make this Dollar Tree a great place to shop!”
“I was impressed with this Dollar Tree because the store was very clean and orderly. Although there were some empty shelves, most shelves were stocked and items were neatly displayed. There were no boxes in the aisles like most Dollar Tree stores I have visited. Their staff were very polite and helpful including the cashier. There was a large parking lot with plenty of parking including parking spaces with people with Disabilities. I would highly recommending visiting this store.”
“As a Dollar Tree it's solid, shelves are stocked and it's kept really neat and clean. The reason I'm giving it five stars is because of the wonderful, wonderful lady at the register! I wish I had asked her name but I just want her to know that I think she made everybody's day a little bit brighter and happier with her positive and kind personality! I'm coming back to this location even though it's out of my way simply because of how nice everyone is there ? Btw it's Thursday afternoon/2:30pm so the store knows about which employee I'm referring:)”
“I went to this store and was amazed at how clean, organized and well merchandised the store is. Yeah, if you know, you know, most Family Dollars are a hot mess BUT not this one. While in there shopping, I heard customers being checked out inform the cashier that they too were impressed. When I got to the register I said it too. It just so happen to be the store manger that was cashiering. I can tell it meant a lot to hear this from the customers. She told me she is the store manager and has been at that location for 3 years. She didn't want her location to be what we have come to expect of a Family Dollar. I mean, merchandising and organization was never on my expectations when I walked into them but it is what I found at this location. I hope she recognized. She seemed to be the only employee working. Well done. Keep up the good work and thank you for raising YOUR bar.
Family Dollar in Chicago on Grand/off of Laramie.”
“I come to this Dollar Tree regularly, 4, 5 times a week. Starting to remodeling this faculty. Removing the self check out, & new flooring. The store always fully stocked, Ordering regularly to replenish the out of stock items. Employees & Management very courteous, even greeting guest when entering the store, walk distance from & to the Blue Line E station.”
“Great customer service, awesome cashier, ok products. I went to get a few household essentials and they were sold out, due to the time of day I went and it being Easter weekend. I also had 2 items that I wanted to exchange from 2 other Dollar Tree stores due to them being duplicate items that I'd purchased before. They exchanged them no questions asked without even asking to see my receipts. Great customer service, I will be checking them out again!”
“Compared to other local Dollar Trees, within the area, this one is the one to go to. They have a self check out area, so you won't have to wait for cashiers like the other locations.
This location is very well clean & organized & the shelves are stocked. A welcoming atmosphere!
Overall I am happy to co.e a further distance for a better Dollar tree.”
“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.”
“Not always find everything but I certainly do find things ?I'm here every week and in this store have the friendly staff...THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS BLESSINGS”
“This store is NCO, neat, clean and organized. Parking is across the street is a plus for me. Also, not in Chicago… they do not charge you for plastic bags. ?”
“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.”
“Was in the neighborhood after an appointment and decided to check in on the store. It was brightly lit, aisles were wide, and there was plenty of merchandise. I found what I was looking for, plastic file folders, and chocolate! And the store was full of decorations for Valentine's Day, St Patrick, and Easter.”
“This place is okay, not a lot to choose from. But I think that is because of the demographics in the area. The store has a lot of boring items. Nothing too exciting. Other locations from this company have better options.”
“They have so much here from housewares to decorations to chips to to shampoo to drinks to ice cream. Nice staff and free parking that's diagonal right in front for 90 minutes. Also next to a little shopping mall w Mexican ice cream and Mexican restaurant.. and a few blocks from the Pink CTA line. Plus I love it that they had 2 for $1 Doritos!! It saved my belly from hunger today while doing errands. Thank you. But the lady staff assumed I was stealing it and walking out without paying bc I guess she wasn’t paying attention to her coworker or didn’t bother to ask him if I already paid. I had a receipt in hand so I had prooof but she could have asked her coworker first before accusing me of walking out without paying the $1.11 for the 2 Doritos :-) that were boldly held for all to see bc I paid for them.”
“UPDATE: 12/2025
I am impressed with all the changes! Friendly staff, and sooooo organized! Great job, new staff!!!! My previous situation experience was professionally resolved by upper management. Thank you! I give them today a 5 Star review.
Workers are so rude when you'll point out the obvious. If you see the line reaching an isle then ask another cashier to open. The manager saw the line and just kepted walking. When I pointed out the obvious, the cashier became rude saying she's not the owner but only works there. Unprofessional and provided the worst customer service, and the young manager agreed with her. I'm putting a formal complaint, this is ridiculous. Lack of professionalism, they don't even value their jobs. Horrible service.”
“I came in yesterday an emotional wreck and at some point I couldn’t breathe. The person at the cash register was kind and asked me if I was okay and if there was anything she could do to help me, and insisted in trying to help me. I want to thank her, and I called several times but the call does not go through. I hope she gets to see this message, thank you so much for being so kind and patient. May God bless her. ???”
“Always have everything I need. I haven't found a dollar tree store that is as stocked as well as this one.
I've been to a couple of Dollar trees and this one is the best.”
“They've really stepped their game up a lot recently. A lot of options. Plus it seems they've also been expanding into the smoke shop type business. Has all your basic needs, friendly cashiers, lotto machines, sundries, snacks, vape pens ...etc ? A really neat spot to check out in the neighborhood”
“This store is always super clean and well stocked. I can always find exactly what I’m looking for. Shaina who works there is amazing! She's incredibly helpful, always greets customers warmly, and truly goes out of her way to help whenever needed. Great customer service!”
