“The new manager has done a wonderful job cleaning the store up you can definitely see how hard him and his asst. Christina have worked. Although they are customer service oriented 1 of the employees needs some more training.”
“Love taking a step back in time. Visting Dicks reminded me of the 60s when my grandmother would take me to a Ben Franklin Dime Store in Illinois. Dicks is great memories and great shopping. Love to see the overhead train.”
“Found this wholesale open to the public store last Fall when we was down for our vacation. It has a little bit of everything and it's discounted. Go check them out”
“We had an amazing delivery experience today. Best store manager and night merch. Thank you so much! You guys were best team to work with. We will definitely stop by to see you guys when we are in the area.”
“The clerks are so kind. We were on the hunt for the elusive Dumpling and we called a couple of times and they didn't mind. And after a wait in line before they opened, my son was able to score a dumpling!”
“Donna is a fantastic manager and should be kept at all costs. Day crew has improved significantly since she took over and so has the store overall. The problem lies with the people who primarily work night shift. They either void transactions or pocket the change when you tell them to make sure their drawers are even or slightly over. I know they need employees that are reliable and can run a tight ship but those ones aren't it. Drug testing should be made mandatory upon hiring.”
“Recently visited your store and worked with Rey(sp?). She was friendly, knowledgeable and patient. I really enjoyed my shopping experience and enjoy my new shoes.”
“Since Mark was promoted to Store Manager, the store has been pleasant to shop at. Mark, Stevie, Anna, and Alieigha are absolutely wonderful people! Mark has a great team. The culture begins with the Manager....Mark thank you for caring!!”
“I came here to purchase another pair of reading glasses. I also bought a 1.25 liter bottle of Diey Pepsi and two candy snacks. The store was very neat and well maintained. The cashier was friendly and efficient.”
“Retail 101: When you have one customer waiting with only two items, it should probably be more of a priority that you take care of that customer quickly, then go back to whatever management things you were doing with your supervisor or your vendor in the back office-- which is just behind the cash register where the customers can hear what's going on-- Rather than saying you'll be out in just a moment and actually taking multiple minutes... By the time that I gave up and left, my transaction could have been taken care of two or three times over or more, honestly. My transaction probably would have taken all of thirty seconds... And then they could quickly return to what they were doing. It wasn't the worst experience ever, but it certainly goes against efficient retail protocol and showing a customer they are valued. Unfortunately today's actions said "what we are currently doing is more important than one waiting customer during a non-busy hour in the store". I know retail can be stressful (!), but this is one of those easy quick things that could have been taken care of a little bit better. So i'm leaving this review hoping that they take notice and realize its importance. It's a little thing that can add up. I'm giving this more stars than it probably deserves, because I'm not trying to be mean, but rather point out in area that could use some improvement.”
“This One Was Very Busy ! Cashier was Keeping up Well ! Stock wasn't Much, Looked Wiped Out ! Pleasant Experience ! Was Hoping For Some Glass Bowls but, Did Find Glass in Pet or Regular Area ! Settled for a Cheap Plastic Bowl !”
“Nice place. I stopped in because I live nearby and found this place has a little but of everything for everyone. Open clean isles I could walk and browse easy. Like.”
“it really could have been better but i wouldn't know because there was no eye contact and the clerk stopped my transaction to answer questions from a tourist who was price checking something,with no one else in line behind me.boooo!they really should have,at the very least,finished my purchase first but whatever i don't matter do i?”
“Ashley is so super sweet. Julie rocks out when it comes to keeping this store in line, stocked and on track. I cannot say anything negative except that sometimes there's no places for stock to be stored except in the isles, and I know since Julie came back thats getting cleared up. They just don't have back store room space and thus have no choice. But otherwise this is your small town, we know everyone store. Love it.”
“This is by far one of the nicest dollar general's Ive been into - the people were really friendly and they had everything I needed. Super clean- well stocked- and Huge!”
“Me and my friend is extreme couponers and we came in Sat the 14th in afternoon, was greeted awesome, store was so put together nicely, the man (didn't catch his name) but he looked like a hippy had glasses on(not in a bad way awesome man) he was so friendly, and seemed very welcoming and was helpful to questions about Branson we had. He is a very great worker........and nice store”
“I appreciate the location of this store. All the associates are very kind and helpful when needed! Lyndsey especially I have seen be very patient and keep her cool in situations that would have sent me over the edge. People really can be so rude over nothing these days, kindness goes a long way. It’s my favorite DG in Branson. I coupon on Saturdays and they never make me feel like burden for doing more than one transaction. I appreciate yall!”
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. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California.

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.
