“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?”
“Always a pleasure to shop here. Very clean and well stocked, produce always looks great and the best meat department. Employees are friendly and helpful. Today was especially great with the holiday digital coupons I was able to save an additional $23 on items I usually buy, including butter, cheese and the 10lb leg quarters at .39/lb!”
“Employees extremely helpful... And courteous which makes the experience of shopping there a lot less stressful than chopping other places how do you recommend shopping at the store...”
“Very friendly and great customer service! I will absolutely be coming back to this Dollar General again. Very well stocked and had everything that I needed. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Love dollar general store. I always spend more than I can afford there... I gotta stop times are getting harder.. can't wait until they do self checkout because I do unfortunately have to wait for periods of time to be checked out... I still love it there... just annoying when waiting for a worker to get to the register... 5 stars from me and I'd give more if they fix the waiting...”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
