“My post is for Lori that works there. She is a great worker is ALWAYS THERE. She is very polite and helpful at ALL times. She should be a MANAGER!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH LORI for ALL YOUR HELP!”
“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! ??”
“This store has everything! Great assortment of beach chairs which is why I went.. I hadn't been there in a while but a friend mentioned they had a certain beach chair I was looking for. And if you go ask for Ed he's the best!!”
“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.”
“This Five Below goes above and beyond. I just went in to see if I could get some party decorations and I was asked if I needed help. It may have been the manager, I’m not sure but she helped me with everything including balloons. I will be going here going forward for all my party needs. The balloons were priced very well and the service was quick.”
“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. 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.
Daiso, the beloved Japanese retailer known for its variety of affordable household goods, is expanding further in the U.S. market. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
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.
