“This place has super friendly staff. My car croaked during my 70 mile commute home and I was able to get it into the parking lot at this DG. The staff were super friendly and didn't hassle me about popping the hood and waiting a few hours for a tow. The gentleman working on 7/17/24 in the evening/afternoon was extremely friendly, kind and definitely an asset for DG. When my wife and kids came to pick me up the young lady working was very kind to them. I wish the DG near me had staff that was this amazing!”
“The girls at my store on Sheridan road really work hard and they don't get a lot of credit for what they're doing but I think they're the best always there for me very polite friendly and even help me out to my car what more could you ask”
“They have a nice selection of makeup and art products, lots of snacks too if you need to quickly pick something up. I like to buy nail polish and lipstick here. Pretty good prices!”
“Honestly though they seem to be in need of just one extra hand around the store most days, the staff is always pleasant and partakes in small talk during check out. There's always new items coming and going so I try to stop in occasionally even if I qasnt set on a item because I usually walk out with something I mean it's a couple dollars right? During the Halloween season they had these really cool eyeball flower decoration, its held up through 2 toddlers so not bad for its price and its pretty, it stays in the living room now. Another notable and recent purchase was the shoe eraser for its price I expected a sponge with little to no affects without soap or something, but as you can see it did the job and then some, we decided to test how far it can go, we're in the process of completing the second pair of shoes! We got 2 others in case it goes that far.”
“This is by far the best grocery store in a 50 mile radius of it's location. The produce is always very nice. There is an extraordinary amount of unique products that simply can't be found anywhere else. Most of all, the meat department is not only gifted, they are careful to offer valuable and good quality meat products for much less than the surrounding stores. They know what they are doing and they do it well. They aren't simply packaging items for sale, they are thinking about your table, your family experience, and they try very hard to do great work.”
“I usually go to Dollar general monthly and spend 200, but no more! Went to FD I had a lot of heavy stuff and I'm a old lady?, The lady helped me load my car, the tiny one I think she was supervisor, Last time I went to DG, had lot of heavy stuff and one of the employees was outside standing watching me struggle with my stuff”
“Love having this dollar general as my home store. It's always super clean compared to a few others located not too far from my house. I love the new updates with offering fresh fruits and veggies. Living out in Byron we're very limited to what's near if you need to just run up and grab something. Staff is great and always super friendly and helpful. Usually stop in a few times a week and I've yet to have a bad experience.”
“This store always gets better in the winter when other employees come from other stores to help with the holidays. And to be honest, idk if the newer employees were just extra help for that reason or if they are permanent employees, but hopefully, the latter because this location got better with the new additions. Recently, I was here to deposit cash to cash app, and the self checkout was open, but I needed an employee for this transaction, so I went to a cash register with a person. There was no one in line, but an older lady got behind me and started putting all of her stuff on the counter out of her cart. This doesn't bother me with anyone, especially at Dollar General, because it's normal and not a big deal. But then she incessantly complained about my transaction taking too long. And she got progressively more and more angry. The dude behind the counter couldn't ignore it any longer, as I doubt anyone could have. But he handled it perfectly, and not in a rude way, and there just was no talking sense to this lady. In the middle of him apologizing to her, when truthfully, this guy deserved the apology, she stormed out red-faced and full of crazy anger. I will never understand how something like that could make someone so angry. This event just stuck out in my mind so I felt like it was relevant to a review. Any store with employees with integrity makes that store better among stores. And as dollar generals go, this location is clean.”
“It is near by and being that my local one is across the the street from family Dollarif they don't have something I can go across the street and get it at family dollar”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. 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. 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.
Dollar General is adding more of its private label food offerings to stores, following similar moves by big retailers like Walmart and Amazon as store brands keep growing in popularity. The store is launching new items under its own labels, including ice cream, cinnamon rolls, coffee syrups, and salad dressings. The move comes as store brand sales reached $271 billion in 2024, up nearly 4% from 2023.
Daiso, the beloved Japanese retailer known for its variety of affordable household goods, is expanding further in the U.S. market.

Dollar Tree is moving into 170 former 99 Cents Only stores, marking a big shift in the discount retail landscape. The company announced Wednesday it's taking over leases in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas, with plans to reopen the stores under its own brand as early as fall 2024.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet just landed a great deal of its own, winning a $14.6 million bankruptcy auction for 11 former 99 Cents Only store locations across Texas. The discount retail chain pounced after 99 Cents Only abruptly went out of business in March, shuttering all 371 of its stores in California, Arizona, Texas, and Nevada. Ollie's quickly made an opening "stalking horse bid" to grab over a dozen of the empty properties.
