βThis place is pretty hard to describe you really just need to go by and check it out they've got a variety of merchandise from peanuts to preserves. People that was working that day are very nice. Just remember there are minimum for debit card purchases at $5 I think.β
βLove this place! I get my gas and cigarettes there every week! Cheapest around as far as I know! Cheap sun drops too! Always very great customer service! That's my convenience store now! I rarely stop anywhere else!β
βI just wanna say a special thank you to my personal shopper that I had today. I donβt know who you are, but you went over and beyond to make sure I had the best of the best in my produce and my groceries were packed like a pro and I appreciate you putting a bag around my flour, It didnβt get dust on everything And you double bagged my drinks so they werenβt flat. little things matter. Iβve been in the hospital for six days I got out I had to have a respiratory therapist come to my house and I still canβt walk far distances without getting out of breath and grocery shopping is something I just canβt do right now so Iβve tried several different places and none of them compared to this food loin. I will make this my number one place to shop and highly recommend it to my family and friends. Whoever you are may God bless you I want you to know that I really appreciate it.β
βGreat produce, cheap dairy and non-dairy, cheap chips, ready-to-cook pizzas, sometimes has good meat sales, and usually is a quick checkout. I visit at least once a week.β
βGot stuck in a nasty rain storm on our motorcycles, pulled in, and Tammy was the best! She even put a pot of coffee on so we could warm up. Very much looking forward to trying the grill on our next trip through.β
βI love this new store..they have an awesome variety now bigger store nice and clean, friendly staff but of course u have to wait in line sometimes but it's worth it..we all need to learn to have patience in life and it would make a big impact on all of us..if u haven't been yet take some time off and go there...it really is a totally different store and u will love it to...it's one of my favorites so make it one of your favorites...β
βPros: There's one on every corner. Great for common shopping and for the savvy shopper there are deals to be had. They have a store app with numerous functions.Cons: There's one on every corner. Some local, more rural stores have gone out of business with a DG coming in right beside them. Those great deals are frequently sold out, not stocked, and different stores have different set ups and rules. The app often doesn't work inside the physical store building...very disappointing.β
βI truly like doing my grocery shopping at this Fairvalue store, the place is clean and well organized, the prices are very reasonable and the meat department is second to none in the area and you don't have to carry around one of those discount cards to get a good price on your purchase, not to mention they have an excellent selection of beer and wine plus a bakery and deli with some mouth watering fried chicken that's priced for the whole family to eat well. Unfortunately and with sincere regret I must withhold one star due to a one time " oops" that happened a while back involving the exchange of my empty propane cylinder, I find it unfortunate that the management doesn't feel that the regular employees have enough gumption to fetch a customer a full propane tank so therefore guess what, you have to wait for a manager to cut themselves free long enough to step outside and unlock the cage where the cylinders are kept so you can swap yours out, I've bought several exchanges from them and usually the whole process only takes a few minutes but on this day the management was apparently overwhelmed with whatever task was at hand and it took far longer than expected so I had to wait for what was about twenty minutes before I saw the manager.... finally he opened the cage and dug around for a minute or so only to turn to me and say "It would appear sir that our cylinders are all empty at this time so I guess we should call the vendor" I said that there's really no point at this juncture because my steaks have probably already cooked in my car while I was waiting for a cylinder that I didn't get.β

βIt's a nice little local grocery store in a part of town which could use the support. If you want to support your community, consider shopping here, eve if you then complete the rest of your overall grocery list elsewhere.
What's good about this place:
- It's cheap, I picked up a eggs, lettuce, coffee creamer, sour cream, and vinaigrette for 10.46
- They offer produce grown directly from local farms
- It's truly local, so you know the dollars spent here go entirely back into your own community, not some corporation HQ out of state. The Whittnel area has struggled over the years, so putting resources into your own community will support your fellow community members
What's not great:
- The selection is on the small side. It has a few pantry essentials, but lacks some staples like milk. Hopefully as they succeed, their selection can grow.
- It's a bit disorganized, with items sharing space with others where they can (especially the coolers)β
βStopped here to fuel up and noticed they had Hunts brothers pizza.. the guy cooking them talked to me while I waited on my pizza and he was right about one thing.. they have the best hunt's Bros pizza.. hands down.. and clean friendly storeβ
βOverall, I've always loved our oak hill walmart, aka Dollar General, thanks to Sherry and the whole crew for always making a usually quick shopping trip as stress-free as possible.β
βAt the holiday to go on blowing rock blvd lenoir nc 28645.There is one older lady that is hateful and acts like she dont want to do her job or hates it she also lied on me saying she told me that i couldnt come back to the store which is not true over a free refill which i showed her my cup i of theres as i came in the door that i had bought earlier that day and which several ppl has do it all the time. I didnt know any different i apoloized to her told her i didnt know that Which i did pay for 1.00 plus tax she told other cashiers that she told me not to come back in the store which is a straight out LIE. I didnt understand why she told that cause there were no harsh words said to her not one hateful word and i even apologied to her when she said no refills are free. I said ok didnt know sorry and kindly paid for it. This is not the first time things like this is happened with this woman. Me and a friend of minewas standing in line behind this guy She didnt want to pay off a lottery ticket he won on and wouldnt sale one cause she said she didnt want to have to count all that down and it was not after 12 midnight which you can cash in till 2am and buy them no matter what time it is and told the boy that had the winning ticket he was band from the store. All bc she didnt want to do her job. So watch out for her if you go up there she might do the same to you and ask around about her other ppl will tell you how rude and hateful she is. And i have never been disespectful or ever give this woman a hard time idk why she would lie on me like that. But other than that everything is ok there.β
βI love Food Lion! It doesn't matter what town I'm in, I look for food Lion. Most everything they sell is cheaper than Walmart. Exception would be over the counter medicine.β
βThis dollar general is a NCI home store, which basically means they carry more βhomeβ items such as rugs, kitchen ware, sheets, and decorations. They are always clean and tidy.β
βAlways have friendly employees, clean store, they have a lot of new decor items and great selection! Prices aren't bad at all.And another reason for the 5 stars is the fact that I have seen employees with tattoos, piercings and even colored hair! I'm glad they are an open minded place of business! Love that!β
βThis is the best gas station around. Everything's very cheap. It is cheaper than other gas stations, the staff is very friendly and don't forget to go by there and get a pizza from hunts Brothers. Very delicious and cheapβ

βLocally called "The Pop Shop" it's the modern replacement for a corner store. Snacks, soft drinks, MD 2020, energy pills,elevation tablets, glass accoutrements of dubious application, and scales to go with them. You've been weighed in the balance and found partying.β
βGood selection, friendly staff surrounded by restaurants. As a bonus you get to see at minimum 1 other customer steal something every time you go which is exciting.β
βUnbelievably nice people that care!
My car had just broken down and barely made it into the Dollar General parking lot with smoke fuming out of the hood. After the smoke disappeared, a person drove into the lot and saw me struggling and looking under the hood. He stopped over and asked if he could help in some way.
After 10 minutes, we knew there was not a quick fix and he started to call friends that might be able to help and also another that owned a tow truck. We stayed in the Dollar general for approx 3 hours trying to find solutions since I was 6 hours from home.
Later, I had it towed to a local auto repair shop (Mr Tire) which they successfully fixed the car after a few days of waiting in a part over Presidentβs weekend.
BUT, the real hero was a guy named Dustin. He was the guy that helped me for 3 hours. Dustin also works at the Dollar General, which I did not know for the first 30 minutes of his kindness.
I can only say to Dollar General corporate offices, please keep a great employee and an even better person. He represents your company and service attitude more than I have seen in my 64 years! The other two employees in the store were so gracious and accommodating also. Congrats to Dustin for being a caring and diligent young man.β
βThe remodel was a nice upgrade. However, I must say, I'm disappointed in the new layout. As a parent, I was surprised they decided to put all the achol right next to the baby section. Also, not a fan of, putting the woman's intimate wear right at the front of the store, across from the checkout lanes.β
βI had visited this store many years ago because I live nearby and needed some gasoline or perhaps some kerosene, seems like a nice enough establishment to do business with, I stopped in last week in hopes they would have some fence nails because I was putting up a fence at the house and really didn't feel like driving all the way to Lowe's so I had my brother in-law call the store to verify if they might have the nails I needed and he spoke with someone there and they acknowledged that they did infact have the nails we were looking for plus a good assortment of other nails and various fasteners if we needed anything else too.
My brother in-law and myself got in the car and drove to the store but when we arrived and inquired about the nails we were pointed towards a mostly bare shelf with very little in the way of nails, there were an assortment of screws but not very many and certainly nothing we could use for the project at hand...so unfortunately we had to make the trip to Lowe's anyway.
You can take away from this review whatever you like but it didn't exactly work out as planned on this day for meβ
