“I LOVE this Dollar General! Their staff is knowledgeable and helpful! Especially Linda! She helps you locate everything you need with a friendly smile! I ambulate with a cane and I was made to feel welcome and not a bother! This is my go-to store when I’m traveling to a chiropractor appointment and I need something! The store is clean and organized!”
“Shopping was great, but the bathrooms was horrid. Poo everywhere. Both mens and women's was not usable. Had to go to food lion next door to use the restroom. Personal was friendly and great.”
“Great finds here! You might not know you wanted or needed something until you come here. From mattresses to pet supplies to home and garden items, anything is possible!”
“I love the way it is set up now. It's an adventure trying to learn where everything is again but worth it. I think the isles have a little more space, and check out is so much better. Some people don't like self check out, but I love it. I am not patient at all, so doing it myself with no wait is perfect. I also like the fact that the new system will let you know if an item is recalled. My Vienna's had been recalled, and the system would not allow me to even scan it alerted the store associate, who was also very nice and helpful. New Dollar General is a 5 for me.”
“Larger selection of items than they used to have but the staff is rude, pretentious, and will ignore you even as you're checking out and paying. Would go back for the items, but don't expect friendly service from the staff”
“The staff at this location is super friendly! They make you feel like they care that you are there, happy you shopped with them and are willing to help find what you need. Cannot say this for many dollar general stores and that's sad because they multiply like flies everywhere.... .”
“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.”
“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. 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.

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.
