“The man and wife that work there are very wonderful people. He hands out jolly ranchers and remembers faces no matter how long it's been since you've been there. Best gas quality I've found consistently around here/ citgo”
“I love your store but do not get to visit very often. Everything was so neat and clean, prices were easy to find and every food item I bought was delicious. Even though it was very crowded that day, I still spent 2 hours looking around. I was afraid I would miss something and regret it later. Your store has grown so much since you first started the business. I wish you well and hope you will be around for many years to come.”
“This is a great place. When you walk in there is a home-type feeling there. There's a variety of things and the lady was super nice and friendly. I enjoyed going there and will go back!”
“Gas station & Food. Also got a warehouse with nails & bolts to plumbing supplies, a little bit of everything. Also have air for your tires. This store is open 7 days a week. Very Convenient.”
“Great store and Don is a class act. You won’t find them like this many places in America. I don’t live here but as a child I remember going here, visited from out of town and he remembered. Great man, great store, should be deemed a National Treasure. Thank You Don for being who you are.”

“Delicious...fresh....authentic....so many adjectives can be used to describe the hot meals served at Olea Market. I decided to give it a try and was very satisfied. The food is the perfect cure for a hungry belly. I look forward to trying more items on their menu! The staff is friendly and helpful as well!”
“Stopped in for some basic groceries while camping in the nearby State Park. I was greeted warmly with an offer to help me find anything - he may have recognized I'm not from these parts
As others have noted, the locals all know each other, and the owner greeted almost everyone by name as they walked in or came to the register.
Great experience that left a smile on my face. Thank you for being friendly and helpful!”
“Cool owner. It’s nice to chat every now and then with the staff. Good job, I’ve seen them definitely “turn the other cheek” for some folks. Thanks for the kindness all these years!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and these people. Fantastic all around. They’ll build most anything you need and work to keep it in your budget. They deliver larger items. They always have fun antiques and furniture in. I also love their classes and vendor fairs!”
“Great local grocery store, and I am very lucky to have them near by. They often have great prices on quality meats and produce, and the store stays stocked with a large variety of name brand and generic products. Due to thier size, a lot of the name brand products are pricier than competitive stores, and they do not have as much variety, but they do have a friendly staff that is eager to help. The 4 stars is not to deter people from shopping there, but because there are areas to improve. I would give them 4.5 stars if I had the choice.”
“Friendly caring staff, store is always neat and clean, shelves fully stocked and good weekly sales. It's a lot closer to my house than other stores which is a plus especially if I'm only needing a couple things. But the only reason for the 4 star review is because it is a little bit more priceyer than competitors.”
“It was very cute little store. It had everything that I needed at a convenience store. The staff was nice and gave me directions. He was even even gave me change for a ten. I would definitely stop back by.”
“If you're in the area this is a must stop shop. Go in and say hey to Michelle and/or Tina. Nicest people I've met in a while. Oh and don't forget to grab one of their fresh made sandwiches.”

“Friendly folks and good homemade meal with truck stop need too learn from this place here has great southerners hospitality. I wait for my load to be picked up at Tyson's Food.”
“I live in Ronda and I go to the Dollar General a lot. I'm usually in and out fairly quick. They do have really busy times that you may have to be in line for a bit. But overall the people are nice and have always answered any questions I have had. They have had times they were out of milk but lately they have everything I needed and wanted at a good price I have been to many many Dollar General in a lot of different areas and it definately is far, far from the worst and with a little work , could make it the best. But as before It is a great place to get what you need , close to home at a good price.”

“Some of the best workers are at the one on Brushy Mtn beside the coffee house. They have the cleanest store of any. Even their parking lot is clean. Love the Run-Ins but especially that one.”
“A great little store with the friendliest people running it. You go in there get what ya need and come out with a smile. New to the area for the last 3 yrs but they treat you like they've known you forever.”
“The gas pumps are usually slow but I'm telling you they have everything a typical gas station has plus it's entertaining ? never a dull moment at this store I promise you there's always something going on here if not give it a few minutes”
“Stopped in to JB Mart today for a quick bite to eat. And I have to say the first think I loom at is the cleanliness of the kitchen and all the equipment. And I must say you could eat off the floor and no grease build up on none of the equipment. The food was great we had chicken wings, 8oz burger, and my daughter had pizza it was all great trust me I know good food. Great job”
“After going to my closest Dollar General store, which was a fiasco because they closed 20 minutes early. I was able to obtain the propane tank I needed to heat my home for the night because this Dollar General was actually following their hours of operation. The cashiers were extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this dollar store over any other dollar store in the area.”
“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.”
“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…”
