“Store was like most dollar general the thing that's most irritating is there is a masks sign up and people are literally just ignoring it .and the people who are working there are not wearing a mask either”
“Family Dollar, okay first off everyone. Why do some of you call Family Dollar, The Dollar Store and throw a fit because items are more then a dollar? First off they are not a "Dollar Store" , and it does cost a lot to raise a family. Also just because it has the word dollar in it doesn't justify why you guys call it the "Dollar" store. You don't call it the Family store, or Burger King do you call it the King store.Okay now that's out of the way, Family Dollar everyone who knows me knows I love these stores. Not because I once was a Store Manager for them, but because they are a great company. Now with that being said employees that are employed with the company may not agree. But that goes across the board they are a business and have to conduct business, and we should follow their policy and procedures how they want. It says Family Dollar on the building, it doesn't say Raul's store, or whoever name that wants to complain. But this company is changing the game. People compare them to Dollar General. But no you can't. Family Dollar is nicer, cleaner, more variety of items, better customer service, and great Store and District management teams. Love this store, love this company, love the people. Thank you Family Dollar for being you, and giving us another option from going to Walmart. Now we just need Super Family Dollar Stores.”

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.

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.
