“This Dollar General is absolutely amazing!! My sister made a quick trip and I forgot to have her grab Fairlife Chocolate Milk. I called her phone only to realize she had forgotten it. I called Dollar General and Sandy answered the phone. She was slightly taken aback (understandably) by my request but she came through for me!! She told me that she’d relay the message to the cashier and she definitely did. My sister came home with the chocolate milk and I couldn’t have been happier.What seems to be a small gesture is huge to someone else. Thank you to the workers at DG!”
“Great little store. Great dollar store (they do sell a few things over $1.25 BUT they are in a designated area with signage so that you are aware it is OVER $1.25 which is awesome). Awesome staff. And quick checkout too.”
“I come here multiple times a week most of the time. The store is always clean, well stocked, and staff is always friendly and available! But the main reason I wanted to review is to give a shout out to their employee, Cliff! I came towards the end of the evening to get blue Gatorade. Unfortunately once coming to the register I realized I left my card at home in my purse. While trying to figure out if my phone had Apple Pay, cliff went above and beyond and paid for the Gatorade for me. What cliff didn’t know is there’s a reason I come to the store so often for Gatorade! It is all my autistic child will drink and she burns through them like gas. I had a long hard day with her when coming to the store and was feeling so down and exhausted, dreading the idea of driving all the way back home to get my card, and that small act of kindness from Cliff turned my day around. He didn’t have to do that but he did! Great store and employees! The young lady that works there is incredibly sweet too! And cliff I will be back tomorrow with the 8 bucks I now owe you!”
“I go there several times of the year when at the Cardinal Center... always nice service an staff... last year at the end of August.. they closed at 3:30 PM... pretty sad... people do not want to work... and as much as people want to shop... hopefully 2024 will be different... I liked their produce dept. and selection... in the store...”
“I go here all the time. One big thing that drives me nuts is customers re- arranging the shelves. There's only 5 employees. They can't do anything about it sometimes. People always complain about the availability; you know what? Then drive to Marion to Walmart. It's a cheap convinant store what do you expect?”
“I want to give a huge shoutout to the manager at Dollar General! They are always so friendly and welcoming. They truly go above and beyond to help customers find what they need, and they do it with a smile. It’s clear they take pride in keeping the store organized and running smoothly. Excellent customer service like this is rare these days, and I really appreciate the effort. Thank you for making every shopping trip a pleasant experience!”
“I am the manager of this store. I am very proud of this store also. We keep it clean and as tidy as we can. We take great pride in it. I got rid of the trash can due to people over filling it thinking this was a car wash place but that was in the spring. Dollar General does not supply employees with shirts. I supplied 1 shirt for my employees. It is summer time so bees are out there’s no getting around it. Im sure 1 peach didn’t draw them all in. The cigarette butts are swept but it’s also an ongoing battle with smokers unlike myself who is not. As for breaking items while bagging accidents do happen and we will make it right even when the customer grabs the bag and rips it and drops the Starbucks frappe bottle, I still made it right. As for the personality of my team I’m sorry that one of us is “a thousand papercuts” but I guess we aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but we do our best and give as great of customer service as we can. I’m sure you aren’t everyone’s cup of tea either but we don’t make up fictional complaints to hurt a business. Our Coke gets delivered every week. But we are at the hands of a vendor so we may not get in everything that someone wants. But the good thing is Dollar General is every 10 mile radius here so if you aren’t happy here there is others you can go to. Happy shopping!!!”
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. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California.

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.
