“Really nice place and the people are very friendly. First time visiting. Got some lunch meat , honey oat bread and a few different pastries. The cream cheese cinnamon rolls are FANTASTIC. Recommend people to stop and shop when in the area.”
“Dollar general in Hope is always clean and the staff is always very friendly. Sometime the cashier Chris can be a little slow. But God love her she works more than one job.”
“It's been snowing for the past two days, and today I drove to a nearby Aldi supermarket. Their small-sized products are perfect for me, so I went there to see if they had any delicious snacks. I saw so many delicious things! I chose low-calorie, low-sugar ice cream, organic natural coconut oil for hair care, fresh deep-sea tuna and salmon, and whole-grain pasta from Italy, as well as natural dried fruit. There were so many delicious things! I especially enjoy trying different foods and cooking various dishes and desserts. Now, Aldi has become one of my top choices, and I highly recommend it!”
“Real genuine old-time food Staples and baked goods here. Pies are delicious and their prices are very reasonable. Friendly, always the people who run the store! Please keep this rare gem in business. They deserve it ♥️??”
“Great place with authentic products. Looked all around town for beef cheek and almost gave up before coming here. Took some time to browse the store and came out with a little more than I planned on.”
“Shay at the dressing room was very friendly and helpful! Even got me a larger size in my jeans. Amazing service during crazy back to school shopping time too. Thanks!”
“4 star for friendly service kinda cluttery and nothing in the clearance isle is marked. Ppl sit stuff down there all the time. I think it's on sale and nope full price. Fix this plzz”
“My girlfriends favorite breakfast food is biscuits and gravy, and I forgot to get the biscuits (and promised her b&g for breakfast). Dollar general really helped us out with a morning emergency. Cashier was also very hospitable”
“In comparison to every other DG around(which there are many) this store is stocked, clean, open until they’re supposed to be(which is 10:00pm). A lot of stores close early and it’s so annoying. You don’t have to walk through a maze of overstocked carts or trip on piles of broken down cardboard boxes!! You can just walk and shop normally and it feels 😊”
“This restaurant is truly a hidden gem. The food here is consistently delicious, made with fresh ingredients and real Mexican flavor. Every dish tastes homemade — from the perfectly seasoned meats to the rich, authentic sauces. Whether you’re craving tacos, burritos, tortas, tamales, or caldo, everything is cooked with care. The menu has a wide variety of dishes, so there’s something for everyone, whether you like spicy, mild, traditional, or something new. What really sets this place apart is that it’s not just a restaurant — it’s also a full Mexican grocery store with an amazing selection. You can find fresh produce, Mexican snacks, spices, drinks, canned goods, meats, tortillas, and many harder-to-find ingredients that you can’t get at regular stores. It’s perfect for grabbing something to cook at home after enjoying a great meal. The environment is always clean, welcoming, and family-friendly, and the staff makes you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place where you walk in hungry and leave happy, with a bag of groceries for later. A true one-stop shop for great food and authentic Mexican products.”
“I love going here and just looking because they always have different things, I can almost always find what I need but if not you can ask and they will let you know when they will be getting a truck in or when they will possibly have what you need in the store .”
“I worked here before my stroke and I loved it clean great friendly helpful hard working staff employees I miss working there I not only miss the staff but also miss the customers great place to come to saint Paul”
“Huge selection and they had way more than just groceries. Tons of clothing, a really big outdoor plant section, and so much cute Mother’s Day stuff. It was definitely busy, but there was a lot to look through and we ended up finding more than we planned to.”
“Dollar General store number 4232 on State Street needs to close or find new management. They cannot keep that store running worth a darn. It’s funny how all the other dollar stores I go to are functioning, but this one either has merchandise on the trolleys in the aisle in the way if they are open at all, they close at 2 o’clock every afternoon that manager needs to lose his charter !”
“Super fast, friendly, and helpful! This pharmacy has been the best for us to work with since we moved back to Columbus. Even though the other pharmacies are open more hours, we have moved almost all our scripts here because of all the above listed reasons. Very impressed and appreciative!”

Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
