“Theyre usually fully stocked and a lot of different options. I come here for holiday items or they have some diy art finds. The workers are very nice and helpful. It is a clean store.”
“I'm so happy with the service I received today at this location! I walked in and needed balloons... Now normally I just go to the section that has ones already blown up and just pick a few from there so as to not bother anyone, but I had a specific theme I was looking for today. The women there were so sweet and helpful and DEFINITELY made me feel valued. sometimes when I go into a store, especially if you're asking for help with something that requires a little bit of extra effort, I often feel like I'm a burden or that the worker is put out by helping me, but today was the complete opposite! Both of them were the sweetest, happy to blow up the specific balloons for me and absolutely made my day! Great job to the staff at the South Delaware location in Ankeny! I'm thoroughly pleased!”
“This is not the closest DT for me but I will travel to this location because it’s my favorite DT! They are amazing!! They ALWAYS have all the newest products/seasonal items out & well stocked while other locations are still unpacking the same items or some haven’t even started yet! They always keep their inventory well stocked and offer a lot of items that other stores don’t seem to carry. They have the BEST craft section that is always well stocked and well organized. I will go to locations closer to me when I need something and it never fails, I always end up coming back to this location to get what I need and they usually never disappoint! Staff is usually always nice and helpful, never any issues!”
“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”
“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!”
“OLIVIA did a great job on taking care of my concern on returning and doing an exchange on an item. Very pleased on the way she treated me as a customer. Thank you, Olivia!!!!!!!!!”
“Kim is an outstanding employee! She was very welcoming and very very polite and patient with everyone this morning. Despite it being a quick transaction her positive vibes sure set my day off right.”
“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 don't normally take the time to write reviews but I had to make the time today!
The cashier Thomas was outstanding. From the moment we came into the store, til he got to us: he heard him greeting and going out of his way to help customers that crossed his path. I must say this was by far the most pleasant experiences I've ever had at a Dollar tree. Definitely made our day. Keep up the great work Thomas, you're awesome!”
“The employees are always nice, but sometimes the store is not neat. I know they only have a few employees, and when the truck comes, putting things away is hard to do when they're busy, but there isn't a lot of room to move on truck days. Item availability is less of an issue now, but was a big problem recently”
“Kathy is the BEST! Helped me last minute with some balloons for a work event on a Sunday evening. In a world where it seems no one wants to help anymore, I would bet on Kathy everytime!”
“Josie is the best. I misplaced my receipt but she knew how to do a return without it. I don't normally have exceptional customer experiences at Dollar Generals and similar stores, but she's an exception. She was professional, courteous, managed and exceeded expectations.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“Excellent store, especially for a Dollar Tree. They keep items shelved and faced without piling lots of boxes in the aisle. I have consistently pleasant and helpful encounters with staff both in the aisles and at the register. I drive out of my way to go to this location.”
“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!!”
“The Dollar Tree on Merle Hay and the one on 63rd both have a great selection and are clean stores. Staff was a bit friendlier at Merle Hay, but had a pleasant experience at both.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Laura was very kind and helpful. Offered me a coupon and helped with my bags. Lady in front of her accused her of making a racially profiled comment which was not true. Laura is amazing and I hope her day is very good.”
“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”
“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 go out of my way to come to this store..It is always super clean well stocked and the employees are fantastic. Brie is so sweet and the others as well. This type of customer service you don't find at many places anymore. You will thrive while your competitors are closing. GREAT for DG..”
