“I am sick and one of the employees, i think his name is josh? was so helpful and gave me a lot of tips and a literal recipe for soup which is so good!!! i love it and his energy so much!”
“Since the move to another location, I've (like everyone) have noticed a significant increase in pricing! It use to be that I went there for a great deal! Now somethings I look at, i know I can get cheaper some place else & even closer. Your business would do more if the prices were beating everyone else like before. I loved shopping at the old store on E. Broad St. Thanks!”
“Pamela and the pharmacist were kind and helped me quickly with my medication concern. Then when I checked out at the front, a cashier was immediately available and attentive. This place was clean, welcoming, kind workers.”
“Yes, there are discounts, very good staff, the store is well stocked and I bought many things because the prices are very low. I wouldn't get tired of hir because of the staff who serve them, they are very polite, respectful and please the customer. I give it At that. A more”
“Set up on Sunday to sell, doors open to the public at 8 am till 2pm. We get there about 7 am. A lot of vendors are already on site to sell to each other. Everyone that we've set up by is very friendly. $15 spaces are pretty big. Good flow of customers between 8am-10am.. We leave about noon. A concession cart with snacks and drinks drive around for those selling solo and can't leave their table. Fees are collected about an hour after doors open, they come to you. We did a drive by on Saturday and there is no doubt nowhere near as many vendors. I enjoy selling here.”
“I find good deals at this store. It's a bit busy, and not enough cashiers. I can say the same about Walmart, so in comparison Gabe's was better. The cashiers were pretty friendly, not like some of the reviews I've read here. With the holidays, consumers can expect a longer than normal checkout. I thought the cashiers were courteous, and kept lines moving well. I'm doing more shopping here.”
“Our go to! We always find what we need and prices/brands are comparable. When we couldn't find supplies during the shortages, we found everything we needed here.”
“Our family have been going to Marc’s Pharmacy for years and the pharmacists are the absolute best! Very helpful and always a pleasure. I would highly recommend them.”
“Standard dollar general. - WHAT!!! Now we have produce options and the refrigeration/freezer section has doubled!!! It's amazing I can now just go to DG and get some good fresh produce since IGA is a provider of only rot when it comes to produce. But it also Has the things you need last minute, they're open until 10pm and sometimes you can find some surprises in there. Love my dollar general!!”
“Nice way to spend a sunny Spring Sunday by walking the 15 minutes over to the Cleveland St. bisiness district, and barging around aisle by aisle. You'll always find something you need (or at least find useful or pretty).”
“Great Customer Service HandsDown!! Friendly Atmosphere Clean also the Family is very open to bargaining on all items which is great especially in these uncertain times we all are experiencing As a citizen’s:residents of this country”
“The place is great. I've been going here since I was a kid. I'm 44 and still going here. The staff are great too; they really do save you the runaround.”
“This place is basically a dollar store with some higher priced items. It's great for quick and cheap options on some things, especially greeting cards and stationery.”
“Today was my first time shopping at DG. Katie, the manager, and her staff we are so super nice! They are warm, friendly, and customer service focused. I will be back for sure!”
“Just wanted to say I stopped in on 11-1-25 in the evening and the clerk at the counter was extremely polite and friendly.. Got things done quickly and glad I stopped. In signing out I think I hit the wrong button about being not satisfied...so i wanted to make sure the manager sees this to make sure she gets credit for being a good customer service clerk. Keep us the good work.”
“Great store that is basically a small grocery store now with the selection of produce and things they added! It's now my go to cause it's right down the road if i need a couple things.”
“The store is clean, employees have always been nice. They are open till 10pm ! Best prices for steaks*. I work late so at times I have been there 10 min before closing and never rushed. Although I am respectful and quickly get what I need and make it to the checkout with time to spare. Other stores are locking their doors and telling you to hurry on their loudspeaker when there is 30 till close. Talk about giving people anxiety. Like all shopping you must DYOR. Some items can be more expensive and some cheaper. Everything went up price wise, thanks to inflation, your buddies you voted for and minimum wage hike but @ Save-a-lot you still find a lot of food on the cheap. I did have to quit A1 sauce because it's not cheap anywhere ($7 a bottle!). There are tips: Everyone should be onto the tube ground meat by now. You get 50% less meat and you are straining the rest (grease/fat/$) out. (hopefully not down your drain!) Same with some frozen beef/filler patties when compare to others. They will be on fire ? in seconds, dripping grease,, nearly impossible to grill and not burn. Buy the fresh ground meat and spend a little more and you will get more. Test it out yourself: make idk... beef stroganoff or ?. Brown 2lb fresh and 2lb of tube beef. You get coupons with your receipts sometimes, so use them. The fresh chicken wings are always cheaper than others but...be careful they always seem to have access blood that will leak out the clear wrapper in your car if not careful ?. It happens everywhere tho, something like a phenomenon. It is the no bag thing that can be more noticeable. This Save-a-lot is a bonus here. You can wash your reusable bags if it does leak. Giant Eagle bags can not save you from the leak either, so dont try a 1-up on my post.? I take them home, wash them re wrap and take out fridge next day and there is chicken fluid again. Maybe they keep the chickens hydrated ?. ??????? My only I wish ?is if you could please cut your steaks to a butchers proper 1- 1/2 inch thickness (at least 1in). ? Nothing pains me more than a thin overcooked steak or a thin medium rare steak and hot coals leftover. Charcoal isn't cheap. It is by weight and I have been in the store with another thick steak hunter going through the packaged meats to find the thickest of the bunch. Staring eye to eye at each other and eachothers gone through stash, hoping they missed one close enough to the specs your looking for. Ready to pounce on that thick porterhouse before the other customer can see what you just uncovered from the corner of their eye and snatch it from the pile. The steak warz are real.?”
“The store is always clean and well stocked when I go. Manager Stacy is extremely helpful and professional. If an item is not on the shelf the staff is always willing to see if they have any in the back. I've never had an issue when I go there. Hands down this is the best DG I've been to.”
“Typical family dollar, it's true about the aisles being cluttered and disorganized. Lots of carts in the aisles with merchandise needing to be stocked. Plenty of parking with two entrances. If you are hauling a trailer or an RV, you could potentially pull in and exit through a separate drive with plenty of space.”
“Nice store - clean store - organized and the ladies who were running the show even kept the customer service while cleaning up a spill from a previous customer. As I say in many of these type of stores staff is a shortage - and stock associates are always needed.I love DG - and am hoping to start getting the $5 coupons on my app - but I am still learning!”
“Cashier, Erica, very pleasant and efficient. Loaded heavy items into my cart for me. Would like to see her more often at the store. Star associate. Those are very difficult to find in retail environment.”
“I've been going through drug Mart for my prescriptions and I have a lot and they keep up in stock if I run out call the Dr for a refill they are hands down best pharmacy.. proudly with them for 12 years.....”
“It’s pretty OK. Some stuff is a good price here, but if you had to buy everything here you’re getting ripped off lol. Thomases bagels for $5.20 is wild. They had some cheap version in the fairy isle for $1.95 that was fine tho. Minus one star for not checking and paying $10 for 2 bags of sun chips that said 2 for 5 or 6.98 check the register I guess if you shop here. I’m honestly just mad I paid $10 for 2 bags of chips”
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. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
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.
