β€œIt's a small grocery store but has so much more inside. The staff were outstanding in every aspect. The produce was fresh and priced cheaper and in better shape and price compared to Walmart and Aldi. Plus it's the only store around that carries my favorite creamer.”

β€œStarted shopping here again. Prices are reasonable. The only thingis fresh mears you can get wrapped up how you want it. I go to Fareway for alot of my meats. Yes you need a quarter to get a cart, but when you out it back you get the quarter back. Part if their way to keep carts corralled and not all over the parking lot. Also bring your own bags or boxes to package your groceries. They do sell bags if needed.”

β€œNot a huge drinker, so it is really nice that the employees are very helpful when I am looking for something. Last time I was in I was looking for mead, and they were able to help me find it right away. Not a huge selection of mead, but still more than I expected. Plus it is convenient to be able to also pick up a few items from the store and check out in the wine and spirits.”

β€œPretty simple! Follow the signs. No issues here! They offer overnight parking no one will bother you Either when you first turn in or in the lot with all of the trailers. This overnight parking is only for ADULTS! Meaning you children that don’t clean up after yourselves or throw your trash outside and even the ones that think the world is your personal toilet throwing bags of poop outside like a child smearing poop on a bathroom wall. You’re not welcomed here! Go struggle to find parking somewhere else.

A red zip means the trailer is MTY btw.”

β€œI slipped and fell in this store by the restroom entrance, a few years ago. I got hurt really bad and was injured for awhile. I do not shop at this store anymore, but I still shop in their other stores. I like the items in the store and I dont mind the prices. Just because I fell, I still like Dollar General.”

β€œThe BEST DOLLAR GENERAL in the Cedar Valley. I had a great experience today as a Door Dasher! I had three separate orders within an hour and each time the staff helped me find the items in the store!

If it weren't for the staff working on Saturday night 6-27-2026, I would have been looking for the items and probably not found all of them as well as spent an hour looking which would have made me upset.

Even as a customer, this has always been the best DG in terms of customer service!!”

β€œGreat staff and ideal location. The shelves were slightly understocked, and essentials like dairy and eggs were unavailable. I am a regular patron of this retail store, and assume it was due to delayed product deliveries. I live in the neighborhood, and have had this store save me from a commute across town on numerous occasions.”

β€œIt was very crowded but because most of the people were in self-checkout I was able to find a line and it did not take long at all for me to get out of there I was very satisfied. I do not like being in big stores with a lot of people so I felt that the cashiers being open really made it easier. I do not get paid to check myself out.”
