“I recently visited New York and stop by the Dollar Tree store in Amityville, and had the pleasure of being assisted by NORMA, who appeared to be the manager on duty. Her passion, professionalism, and warm, positive attitude truly made my day. Norma’s kindness and dedication were evident in every interaction, she was knowledgeable, attentive, helpful, and exceptionally gracious. Her outstanding service made me feel genuinely appreciated as a customer. Well done, NORMA!”
“Great staff, very friendly and they guide you on how to properly lay out your store to optimize space and make your store feel and look high end! Special thanks to Bert and Sue! ??”
“I've always enjoyed shopping here! The selection of clothes they have is unmatched. They have other amazing items as well, and the Christmas selection during the holidays is also amazing. Very happy to hear that they’re staying open!”
“The items are still inexpensive but it should be call Five and More store because now the items can rank up to $30. I bought a clear pet carrier with wheels for $20. If I were to but it from another store they would want up to $70 for it.”
“What a nice staff they have at this location. It truly feels like they enjoy working there and it shows. My daughter and her friends are always treated nicely and with patience. The employee that stood out today was JADA Keep up the Good work !”
“love coming in here, even if its just to look around. the staff has never done me wrong and always been so kind and helpful. love the way theyre so involved with the customers. i spilled a drink once at the check out when they were closing soon and i felt so awful but the older woman on shift kept a smile on her face and cleaned it up, denying my help while telling me it was okay. she also then proceeded to help the customers in the line behind me. that woman was seriously amazing! love this five below the most out of any of them”
“I heve been going to this .99 Plus store for years. They have good prices & deals on certain items like cellphone accessories/cases, novelty, and household items. The staff is very friendly & helpful as well.”
“I was actually the customer waiting in line directly behind this interaction, and my experience was completely different from what was described in another review. The customers had already completed their transaction and then decided they wanted additional merchandise that was kept behind the register. The cashier immediately went to retrieve the items and politely asked multiple times which color they wanted. Unfortunately, they did not respond for several minutes, despite being asked more than once. Meanwhile, several of us were waiting in line to check out. The cashier simply explained that if they needed more time to decide, she could help the next customer and come back to them afterward. I thought that was a fair solution that respected everyone else's time. Instead, the situation escalated because the customer became argumentative and insisted that the cashier continue waiting indefinitely while they decided. At that point, the cashier calmly removed herself from the interaction and allowed another employee to take over. In my opinion, that was the most professional thing she could have done to prevent the situation from getting worse. Before I left, I told the cashier not to let the negativity ruin her day because no employee deserves to be spoken to disrespectfully while simply doing their job. I've shopped at this Five Below many times and have consistently had positive experiences. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and hardworking. Based on what I personally witnessed that day, I believe the employees handled a difficult situation with professionalism and restraint. I'll absolutely continue shopping at this location.”

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.

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.

Ollie's quickly made an opening "stalking horse bid" to grab over a dozen of the empty properties.
