“Great shop, really wide variety of stuff, a little shady but what did you expect. Nothing is really a dollar but it’s still fairly cheap. Lady working there can come off as weird but she is actually really sweet.”
“Very Nice People, Work Here...This is my," Go To", Store, For Everything...I Save a Lot Of Money, Shopping Here...They Have Beautiful Gifts, and Lovely Decor, For Kitchen and Bathroom Items...Best Store Around...?”
“I love this dollar general and it's employees. I was in last week and have to say I really appreciate the store managers attitude while training new employees. A young lady working the register I believe her name Lexis, maybe Alexis who explained she was training and it was only her 2nd day on the register had to deal with an awful, awful customer who was accusing her of trying to scam him. He wanted items removed from his order and she let him know she was calling the manager so the manager could authorize the removal of the items, she told him the wrong total which was obviously a mistake (with that man's attitude I'd have given the wrong total also) and he went on a tangent that she was scamming him and everyone in line. The store manager came up and explained the situation to the customer and explained to Lexis where she made the mistake. The store manager was very kind in showing and explaining her mistake. She didn't embarrass her or make her seem like a bother. The customer finally left, thank goodness!! What a miserable person that man was. Lexis handled the situation very well for a new employee being yelled at over an honest mistake, she was visibly upset and excused herself to the restroom, she came back with an apology and a smile.. She is doing a great job!! Working retail with the general public is NOT an easy job but these 2 ladies handled it perfect!! Kudos to lexis and the manager, I 'm sorry I can't remember her name.”
“Great go-to store for general items at a realistic price. I have bought basic household items such as drinking glasses, silverware, laundry baskets, laundry detergent, etc. Grabbing a 2 pack of twinkies and a soda while in line is also a perk since we do not keep sweets in the house.”
“I visited the store on 3/30/2025. The assistant manager, Lura, was helpful, patient, and kind. I visited the store twice that day. On the first visit, she was solo at the register with a line of 10+ people. Not one moment did she show any form of negativity. She greeted each person with respect. On my second visit, she accommodated my requests and was very patient. Thank you for saving the day, Lura!!”
“I shop at the store multiple times a week. Again, they have soup To nuts. Extremely happy with the prices for what they have to offer, which is basically everything. Bathroom and kitchen rugs, throw rugs. Food, etc. I am so happy they built one less than a mile from my home. I am there all the time.”
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.
