“On 6/15/26 I went to the store to find ear buds. I'm not very tech savvy and asked for help. Your employee, Alena Maylone was very helpful and compassionate. She deserves a special thank you!”
“The best place to buy a lot of things! I go there for balloons, cards, toiletries, faux flowers often.
Many locations around Des Moines to choose from. Some are better kept than others, but always a good selection.”
“I found several great buys, but I was riding the bus and was only able to get a few things! 😩I hate not having a car! What is this country coming too?🤔Damn terriffs, damn Trump!”
“I will go to a Dollar Tree for cleaning products, gift bags, and cards for any occasion. Its less expensive, and you're in and out after you get your finds.”
“I'm only giving it 4 instead of 3 because of the young man who had to deal with the long line of customers after the female, I'm assuming who was on break, came to her register, making a few people think she was opening up then instead just walked away. I get that it's a break but if there's a long line, and you don't want to come back to work, don't look like you're going to jump in and help then simply ignore the line of people, who also assumed you were coming back, and left them hanging. The young man just took it all in stride, he was professional and efficient.”
“Have a lot of things that you need for household items along with grocery items. It's one of my go to places for things that I need that have a lot of things in the store for the most part. They are organized and well stocked. The bathrooms are clean and they have friendly cashiers”
“This store has hugely improved over the past 5 years. It’s always clean, well stocked, organized, staffed and friendly staff. Super convenient to stop here and run in and find pretty much anything I need.”
“I am a regular customer and I finally want to share my positive experiences. The employees are always very nice and the shelves/fridge/freezer sections are always stocked accordingly. Christina is always very nice especially while stocking and apologizing for anything that may be in a customer’s way during the stocking process. There was another gal stocking non-food shelves today which she was also very apologetic while fulfilling her duties to stock the shelves. While checking out there is always the same 2 gals, again very nice however I didn’t catch their names. As a regular patron there are times where there might be merchandise to stock, but I truly believe I go on possible truck days as the other day I went aisles were free and clear.with absolutely no merchandise or boxes. I always see the employees working hard so I believe we need to give grace when warranted and compliment when it’s due.”
“This place is so convenient for me because it is so close to home. I can find my basic necessities in the store and only have to walk a few city blocks and I'm there. And usually anything I need well in the cooking area is going to be there. Now I said usually. Just convenient!!”
“I go in this store almost every day. I have zero complaints. Workers are always very polite. Even on my worst days going to this store always cheers me up. This store is my happy place. People like to complain about the bathrooms etc.. then maybe they should come in and fix the stuff that’s broken because the employees are doing what they can. Especially when the customers are constantly stealing the keys. Try working the job they do before running mouths. I swear all the complaints on here are ridiculous. A bunch of Karen’s in my opinion. I’ve never once seen any of the workers at this DG be rude in any way or form. Just saying. This store is awesome. My children and husband love this store as well. Very welcoming and loving. I’d even go as far to say it’s my home away from home. lol. Love this store. Deserves 100 stars if I could give that.”
“I would have given a 5 but the one Hubbell down from Guthrie has a very rude cashier I was getting a gift card and I handed her my old license instead of new one. So it wouldn't go thru i.ask her.if she would run it thru again with the right license that wasn't expired she wouldn't do it. We argued and she says we'll you.dont have to come back..FINE I WONT YOUR RUDE AS HELL.. And I haven't been back to that one since”
“Every SINGLE time I stopped by here I've encountered nothing but the nicest employees/humans EVER! You are all appreciated more than you realize. Thank you.”
“I’ve been to this location many times with my grandma, the area might seem ruff to those who aren’t from around here, but if you need something to eat, or something for your home it’s a great place to go, my grandma always gets sparkling flavor infused water so if there’s any lovers of that beverage reading this , hey you’ve just find your new go to spot.”
“Who doesn't love dollar tree! I don't know about other locations but this one has been short staffed and had to close early some daysTheir doing the best they can”
“On my way to the airport, stopped in to grab a couple things for my flight. This is not a typical Dollar General! Clean, organized, and the three workers that were there, which is odd for Dollar General, the one guy working said 'oh it's truck day, so you see more of us at once!' made me laugh. The one lady with the tattoos, when I got to the checkout was making everyone laugh whether they were 80 or 8. She asked me 'oh you must be going on a trip somewhere with these items' I was like yeah, how do you know? She laughed and said well...either common sense, or my almost 30 years of retail, do the math kiddo...and she's younger than me! HA!
Everyone seems to want to complain about stuff, but I want people to know that this place is so cool!
Next time I am back in Des Moines, will stop here for any thing I need!”
“Always really cute stuff for home decor here. I forget about this store alot.Why is it always dead silent in DG stores though? For real.This one is cramped....really messy and dirty out front. Bout time they installed self check out with how short staffed they have been becoming. But on the other hand... if they keeping they're employees stocking the store, then it should look nicer. This store is a messsssss.”
“I like the store, but the website bites. I logged in to add a shopping list. Just keeps saying add a store even after choosing 3 different locations and logging in and out twice. Useless...”
“I was just there this morning they were very kind and didn't give me no crap about my puppy being in the store with me and I had just about everything I needed and then some that I forgot of course I recommend you go there quickly before they run out of something that you need”
