“All five stars go to Gordy. Most friendly person you’ll ever meet. I love Gordy like my own family. Always positive. Always kind and friendly and never failed to ask me How my day is. Somebody give this guy A promotion.”
“I usually ways find what came for and probably mist times end up getting something extra as well because of their good buys in a variety of different products. I'm little disappointed I with their recent early closings due to lack of available workers . However this is a matter that the dollar general brand has no influence or control over so it's just one of those ,"dang , maaaan." moments. And understandable. Thanks for keeping up with your promise for lower prices and good products. friendly staff is a good bonus also.”
“I made a mistake, and I am admitting it ., This store is very busy and only one employee working on a busy day before thanksgiving., I said they wouldn’t answer the phone but who can when they are busy doing everything. The girl working isn’t slack, like I said she is over worked., Give her some help DG head quarters she is way to busy to answer the phone, and I found the missing item in my car under the seat., Sorry for the previous bad review”
“Something GOOD is happening to this store. Looks much better organized. I think bad management is gone. What ever it is I appreciate it, and the happy greetings from Yamil does makes a big difference. I use this store a lot and I can tell a big good difference 👏👏”
“While it's not exactly the rarest thing in the world (me submitting reviews) it's also not the most common thing, for me, either. So, I'm that guy (love me or hate me) that solely leaves reviews for one of two reasons. Either, I've encountered something &/or someone so impressively awful, that it warrants one. Or, on the contrary, I encountered something &/or someone, that impressed me to the point of feeling compelled to do one. The latter of which, is the case, today. So, Daniel,.at this location should definitely be commended. Although just a super basic exchange of words, it was blatantly apparent that he's definitely a cut above the average good employee. Super positive, friendly, welcoming energy about him. Very well mannered and was very polite, friendly and helpful. I don't want to make him too terribly uncomfortable (if he were to read this) but it must be stated, he's certainly an asset. I imagine anyone else working there, with even just even the slightest ability to gauge such things, are most likely already fully aware. I know that may come across as strange, being that I just had a couple super brief encounters with him, but I've always been a solid judge of character.. Well, and of course, just my common sense & basic observation of him, interacting with other customers, as well. Yep, a gem of an employee, for sure. Was a pleasure meeting you, good sir (in case he does read it) and to the higher ups at DG, I've worked in retail & those are for sure the type you hope to luck up and hire. Give him a raise/hang onto him lol”
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.
