“Love this location- staff is very friendly. My elderly mom likes to go there to shop cause it's not as busy as bigger stores and the counter staff is sooo sweet with her. Especially the blond lady with southern accent.”
“The new store is the nicest DG that I have been to. Clean, bright, and well organized. Products are easy to find and the manager is very helpful. It's great that they have a small produce section if you are in a hurry. Great prices on toiletries. When busy parking can be an issue.”
“I just wanted to give this store a review they deserve. I've been to a lot of dollar trees and have never received the most friendly atmosphere as I did in this location. From the minute I walked in, I was greeted with an energetic hello. I came in with a mission to see if there were any items marked down. As I was walking down the aisles, I saw another employee ( whom Id come to find out was the store manager, Deninse) I complimented on how beautiful her store was and the merchandising made shopping an ease. When I tell you every single item was lined up perfectly, I am not kidding. she asked how I was doing, chatted about the weather and asked what brought me in. We then began chatting about how I am always out looking for sale items to donate ( a women's shelter, and a senior communities food pantry). It was night and day from the interactions that I literally receive from 99% of other locations. I was a store manager for 20 years and I live about 39 mins from this store, but I will be driving to this location to do my shopping.”
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.

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.
