“Helpful friendly and very busy staff I generally find what I need they do sell some fresh vegetables decently priced good for quick and go stop and run in and out when you're in a hurry or busy...”
“I have updated my review from 1 star, to 5. As a forest native, I’m happy to report that with The recent new remodel this Summer 2024, comes a cleaner and more organized store. I personally enjoy the Autumn & holiday inspired mugs, & appreciate that they arent all religious themed. They are very well made, & im slowly growing my collection. Something I’d like to touch on specifically, is a product we’ve had to avoid for the past 7 years now.. which is your bread. Before the remodel, the bread specifically tasted as if you were storing it with the strongest of fabric softener. I’m very happy to say that all of the BREAD items now sold at Dollar General in pilot knob NO LONGER TASTES OF FABRIC SOFTENER. Its is now Clean fluffy fresh bread. Used to, we’d have to make a separate trip all the way to Save A Lot just to pick up bread items because of this issue. I am also happy with the selection that I was presented with, and the cleaner store. But mainly, & most importantly, The Friendlier staff. The cashier who checked us out, was very friendly, courteous, and funny. He took care with my items and related to how good the Ramen was that my husband picked up for me. I enjoyed my trip this time. And I hope it stays like this. I would like to request If I may, that you keep a better stock of your smiles butterscotch discs, Your shin black Ramen packets, And if you could find Southgate Brunswick stew and beef stew, I wouldn’t have a reason to go to Town & Country anymore. I’m very thankful that I no longer have to go across town just to get bread. And I’m also pleased to report, that no employee was high. lol giving a more stress free grocery trip. thank you?”
