“First dollar tree that I've been to in a long time that actually had more than one register open, the staff was very helpful and nice especially the manager.”
“Not the most organized or stocked family dollar I've been in, but the young man at the register was very friendly and helpful. It's certainly worth taking a look and picking up a few things. Prices were great on the items I bought. There is plenty of parking but the store is pretty busy.”
“Okay so here's a big difference two family Dollar stores on North Main Street one is disgusting one is great so I drove up the road and went to the Family Dollar in the Shaw's Plaza what a difference from the one down at the bottom of North Main Street people there were great store was immaculate I can't tell you I will only shop at this Family Dollar from now on”

The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026.

Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
