Dollar General Akron is a store offering everyday essentials at affordable prices. It provides everyday low prices on frequently-needed items including food, snacks, health and beauty aids, cleaning supplies, basic apparel, housewares, seasonal items, and paper products. It sells alcohol and tobacco, and customers can save more with the myDG program. The store is described as a good place for certain items, allowing for a fast in-and-out experience. Employees are noted for being nice to customers and helpful in finding items, especially when someone is in a hurry. The store is also reported to be well kept and organized, showing great effort from the staff. However, a significant issue was reported where a customer was incorrectly charged. Employees, including a head cashier, showed strong customer orientation by spending considerable time trying to resolve the problem. They attempted multiple solutions, ultimately resulting in a cash refund from the register. The incident caused distress, with concern that the helpful employee might face repercussions for solving the customer's problem when no one else could.
I shop there because it's close but the stock is limited. The staff is friendly and easy going although they seem to be slightly short handed. From my experience I recommend shopping at this location.

This place never has anything in stock it's always stuff in the aisle that you can trip over never have anything that you need and the workers are kind of rude and places never clean and smells

I live close so close to this store and it seems like its always close. I walked to the store just to find its closed at 11:30 in the morning. Im getting so freaking frustrated to always having to go to another dollar general just because the brown street/lovers lane store is always close.
