“I had a pleasant experience at the Dollar general the new people that have just started a very friendly the ones that have been there years or not so friendly they usually don't carry the pipes I usually get they usually out and it always takes these people too long to put stuff on the shelf they get a truck in and it sits on the floor 3 to 2 days”
“Great store when need a quickie mealset as old 5&10's use to be. Nice to see variety of which you don't see often on supermarket shelves much like ezmart across street their convenience store mixes. It's been quite a pleasure seeing new types of foods to try.”
“You can find almost everything at this location. I usually go once a month with a short list and end up leaving with a ton of stuff that I forgot I needed. They have everything from Housewares to pajamas to birdseed, and wiper fluid, gardening supplies, and so on. The cashiers are the kindest. There’s never been a long wait to be checked out when i’ve gone, and plenty of room in the aisles to browse the merch, there’s just so much stuff you’re not gonna want to rush through, just take your time.”
“Being a collector, they have an amazing assortment of what I'm into. There's such a variety of stuff, from food to toys to books to clothes and home decor, they have a lot that you might want.”
“it wasn't bad coming home from Cole Park we stopped there to see if they had a kiddie pool but all their seasonal stuff is just about gone but Dollar general is pretty decent”
“This is one of the cleanest and well stocked Dollar General stores that I have experienced. The staff are polite and helpful. One stop shopping... think mini Wal-Mart.”
“Our cashier Meya was so wonderful! she doesn’t speak spanish but she was so helpful and let us know where everything is in the store. Her personality and customer service make my midday errands a lot less boring ?❤️”
“This is the first time I have shopped at this Dollar Tree it is clean, organized, and well-lit. They have a great selection of items, with many new items too. The employees are pretty great, pleasant, helpful, interactive, and just an overall wonderful attitude. l find this location to be much better than the Binghamton location hands down.”
“A big shout out to the store manger. My puppy ate rat poison. I ran into general dollar for peroxide, the manager held my puppy for me. He saved my puppy's life.”
“Best place in WP to pick up everything from pantry staples to household goods, to seasonal items! Inexpensive, clean, and the crew is always friendly, courteous, and consciencious! The parking lot needs serious repair though- (Get on it, corporate!)”
“Regular merchandise is $1.25 Also have aisles with higher priced items. Good news - they still have some greeting cards 2/$1.00 and the majority of the cards still priced at $1.00”
“Convinent and organized small onePrices follows the other stores ofc, so not that big of big saves on deals and so, nonetheless it's convenient store for your quick and daily needs”
“First and foremost, corporate pay attention, 9/21/22 at 2:50pm, your staff were amazing here. Not a simple write off, I'm talking attentive, helpful, and great demeanor. I've worked management at two going on three companies now, without looking at their service history I can only say I will be coming back to a welcoming place such as this with great people. Even helping little old ladies out with their purchases... hard to find decent staff like this.Second, I understand it is your policy, but how dare you not let me tip or "leave behind" product (with receipt) for these fine people. I understand it cuts down on theft and potential drama. But this truly saddens me that it's become that strict. I hope this was a minor issue at this location and not your companies norm.Third, I have been to 5 of your locations, this may have been a rough day as though the store was orderly, there were lots of product still to be stocked and techs working. Next visit (on a different day) I'll bump this up to 5 stars. However, this location is a positive example compared to others in the Binghamton area. It maybe partially due to location, but this one has by far the most put together I've seen. Penn Ave comes close but the others are blatantly shamed by comparison to these two.Thank you for your time, have a great day.”
“Love this place! I've been shopping here regularly and always have a great experience! The store is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate—even during busy times. The staff is super helpful and friendly, always willing to assist or answer questions. One thing that makes this place stand out is their connection to the Dollar General app—it’s a game-changer! The app is user-friendly, updates weekly with new deals, and helps you find products faster in-store. On average, I save around $15–$25 per trip just by using the app for digital coupons and weekly specials. If you're looking for a store that makes shopping smooth and helps you save some serious money, this is the spot!”
“I like how close this one is to my place so I don't have to walk far. I do wish they had a bigger selection of female shoes and sometimes clothing, and I also couldn't find thumb tacks here, either. Other than that I love this family dollar. Lots of good snacks, huge selection of hair dyes, products and shampoo/conditioner, which is super important to us females. Makeup and nail stuff is now being held behind the counter and im glad they did because so much stuff was being obviously stolen. Usually it smells amazing in there as well.”

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.

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.
