“I love coming here because they have just about everything you need and it’s not extremely over priced but I’m not sure why they call it the Dollar General because there’s not a lot of dollar items. Also I’m confused as to why there’s only one register open at a time and there’s 10 to 15 customers waiting to be checked out…”
“Love, love, love this store!!! My daughter & I, as well as my contractor and I, shop here all the time. I've always been very happy with everything I've purchased. 10/10.”
“I like going to the store, but my thing is every time I go they don’t have my sugar. They don’t have bread anymore, which I didn’t know they quit doing that a while back, but this is still my go to place.”
“I love this store!!! By far my most favorite store of all times!!!! I feel like I get a deal in every thing I purchase!!!! The Management and Staff are courteous, kind, and helpful. I shop at the Salvation Army Store every time I pass it.”
“Busy location when we was there. 6 customers in line for 10 minutes before someone else finally opened another register. The store was cluttered with stocking carts blocking aisles.”
“Love the dollar store until they stop selling a&w powder for drinks and they don't know why it's sold extremely well cuz that's all I drink is water now I have to go to the Dollar tree”
“I encountered the rudest nastiest cashier at the north wilkesboro location I've ever seen she's dark haired looks to be in her late fifties has a very bad attitude when asked to do a price check apparently so buyers beware manager and corporate were informed of issue* edit* to my original review since they fired this employee it's actually a really nice place to shop the staff are very pleasant and helpful so I'm bumping up my stars due to the shift in atmosphere to a four star I wish I could give it five but they still need to work on putting the correct prices on items so be aware”
“Amazing customer service and the store is packed with extra iles and sections and products that my other surrounding DG's lack. I like the fact that this location has been remodeled with updated security features as well as n new floorplan and as I previously mentioned, the inventory selection is broader which is AWESOME”
“Great prices and variety all dollar general stores offer. However, this store is a bit more cluttered than most. One isle was even inaccessible because of boxes full of stock.”
“Standard Dollar General experience. They have been leaning heavily on their one self checkout register lately (I'm assuming due to lack of staff) this isn't so bad except that it's a very slow process especially when assistance is needed and the person can't be found. However, they have put a sign on the door stating this is what to expect, so I guess that makes it ok.Bathrooms are gross, as per dollar general standard. One is always broken (we assume that's the employee bathroom) Prices are better at Walmart of course, but for the time saved from having to drive to Walmart most things it balances out. Service is hit or miss. Some of the employees are super friendly and really try their best to meet expectations and others act like it's the end of the world that you've walked in. 7 days before Christmas and they were still trying to get the Christmas items out. They've been struggling with keeping staff, so I don't know if it's a management issue or what. Don't go in if you're in a hurry, but aside from that you'll get about what you'd expect from DG.”
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.

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.
