“I don’t go here often but when I do I question why I don’t come weekly! This store is always neat, you don’t have to worry about unorganized products everywhere. I always find good house items for cheap! I’ll go for one thing and leave with a basket full, because the prices are so good!”
“My clothes were returned in like new condition. As a professional, I expect original creases in pants and shirts. This District Heights location out performed others in the county already.”
“Dollar Tree in District Heights, MD is a typical budget-friendly stop that delivers on value, but not much else. Located in a small shopping center, it’s convenient for quick trips when you need everyday essentials without spending a lot. The store carries a wide range of items—from snacks and household supplies to party goods and basic toiletries—which makes it a practical one-stop shop. The biggest advantage is definitely the pricing. It’s easy to grab multiple items for a low cost, which is especially helpful if you’re stocking up on basics or stretching a budget. That said, the overall shopping experience can feel a bit lackluster. The aisles are often crowded or cluttered, and it sometimes takes patience to locate exactly what you need. The atmosphere is busy and no-frills, with a steady flow of customers coming in and out throughout the day. It’s not a place to browse for long, but more of a quick in-and-out stop. Overall, this Dollar Tree serves its purpose well—affordable, convenient, and useful—but don’t expect a polished or highly organized shopping experience.”
“walked in looking for an item. Young lady working the register told me that BJ the manager could help me out since she was new and wasn’t 100 percent sure. I greatly appreciate she was honest and pointed me in the right direction. When in talked to BJ he was very helpful and polite. He didn’t see the item on the floor so he went in the back to check and came back with the item. Then when he was at the register he showed why he’s manager. He was solving issues and helping customers all why training the young lady on the gift cards. Awesome job!”
“I've searched long and hard for a dry cleaner who could actually CLEAN my items without damaging buttons, missing spots, or charging an arm and a leg. I went to this zips location on Saturday afternoon to drop off several items and was greeted instantly with great customer service. I was then impressed at how inexpensive my total for all the items I had were. The gentlemen who assisted me got me in and out in less than 5 mins. I went back this Monday to get my items, and although it was a bit of a line for pick up, they moved quickly to get everyone taken care of. When I got home to review my items, I could not believe the attention to detail they took. All my items were spotless, pressed amazingly and NONE of my buttons were damaged or broken. A jean jacket that I gave them that was pretty dirty initially, now looked BRAND NEW. So brand new I almost thought it was the wrong jacket, I forgot the original color LOL. There was one shirt that was cleaned but a spot could not be removed, but they made sure to place a note on the shirt indicating that they took extra care to clean the shirt but to avoid damaging it, they couldn't get it out. No biggie. I give this location 5 stars! Keep up the good work, customer service, and excellent prices! I Won't be going to any other dry cleaners going forward. Signed, new customer.”
“Hello, I've never had an issue of service or cleanliness of my clothes but it would be nice to have more than just one person working the register in the mornings. It's a peak time for persons who have to go to work but are stopped by just having one person at the register. Also it's an easy burnout for your employees.”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover.

The company calls this makeover "Store Experience 2.0." Gone are the cramped aisles and confusing layouts that once defined discount shopping. Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
