“I've actually only met good and friendly folks at DG stores but I like this particular store b/c they've helped me a few times with a Black Friday sale on Thanksgiving day, which I'm sure is a stressful day for them as-is. I don't like shopping in public much these days, especially anything Black Friday, but DG stores are the only ones to offer a particular sale so, to deal with friendly/helpful folks makes it fast and easy for someone like myself to take advantage of the sale that unfortunately happens once a year. And it's been multiple different people there each of the times I've gone in for the sale over the years.”
“I come here to fill my 5-gallon jugs at their water machine. The gas station employees are always pleasant as well. The water machine is located outside the building and is available 24/7. I might also add that it is true reverse osmosis drinking water and tastes great!”
“The owner was friendly, courteous and professional. He patiently listened to my rambling project description, gave me some sound advice, listened closely to my follow up questions and fully answered them, carefully selected just the right amount of seed I needed and could not possibly have been more helpful. All of that for a $1.50 purchase!”
“Great prices on salvage groceries and general household goods. This is an Amish owned and operated business and it is almost always bursting at the seams with so many people shopping inside. Since it's a salvage grocery store you'll be wise to check the expiration dates on every item. Most canned goods are dented. Dented cans are perfectly fine. The thing to REALLY watch out for is cans that are BULGING, ESPECIALLY in top or bottom of cans. THAT could be a sign of botulism but I've never run into it here. The ONLY reason I give 4 stars is because it can be INCREDIBLY disorganized. It's not dirty or anything, just often VERY DIFFICULT to find what you're looking for, and the frozen section is almost non-existent because it's so small. And, because it's SO PACKED with people shopping most of the time it can be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to get to what you want or to get down the aisles because of people taking up all the space with their shopping carts and by remaining in the SAME SPOT FOR SEEMINGLY HOURS ignoring others' attempts to get by. The have plenty of shopping carts and the cashiers are incredibly fast with not a SINGLE "BOOP" or "BEEP", it's ALL done on "old school" cash registers with those Amish gjrls' fingers just completely invisible they're moving so fast across the register!!”
“Love this little mom and pop store. Always greeted with a smile and treated like family. The new remodel looks amazing and very excited to see what else the new owner has in store for the place”
“I would come to this DG when the one in Mantua was out of products or when a friend that lives around the corner (that doesn't drive) needs stuff from the store.”
“We've been going to our DG for 5 years, and it has always been the cleanest, most organized DG ive ever been to. Bob is a great manager, and the ladies are always so helpful and friendly. This is the cleanest, most organized Dollar General in the area. I'm never tripping on stock like the other ones. We appreciate you!”
“The employees at the G-ville Save A Lot are some of the courteous, helpful people I've met. So it's a hats off to G-ville Save A Lot! Thank You. Due to the economy and tarrifs I believe is why certain items are more costly and/or getting scarce , not because of the vendors!! Food for thoughts!!!”
“I am not sure how or when I came across their jerky BUT wow am I glad that I did, this place is awesome service and product. I have been calling or texting an order in and they simply just mail me the jerky! it's an awesome system. thank you for always getting me takin care of.”
“Awsome clean heavily stocked nice workers 4 stars only because they been closed 2x times due to short staff come on people now I know there's some folks that need a job out here.I've walked there no biggie tho I choose to walk instead of drive anyways lol both times”
“I sincerely enjoy shopping here! The deli and butchers are awesome, friendly and very helpful. They make great suggestions and we have become addicted to some of the deli salads, baked beans, and coleslaw as a result...when we never used to do anything but make them ourselves. We enjoy the fact that this IGA location has a lot of products that we want that we can NOT find any where else...for example; VEG ALL canned vegatables.”
“i love this DG, all the employees are very unique and stylish, and i appreciate that in an establishment considering i like to be that way! i can tell this place appreciates self expression and outgoing employees!”
“Well since everyone is panicking & everywhere seems to be out of T.P. it was good to see a sign posted "Out of Toilet Paper & hand sanitizer on the door" so my daughter & I knew not to even bother looking? so we stacked up on Ramen noodles & chocolate instead.”
“The cashier Kimberly is very nice. She always smiles and acknowledges and greets every shopper. She made me and the shopper behind me who was buying a giant plush teddy bear feel welcomed. Thank you Kim.”
“This is my go-to for all those things that drag us back to a big box or grocery store, no matter how many lists we make. What I need is always in stock & no more second trips or wasted time going back to other places! Just started using their app. Saved over $7.00 just between dog food, detergent, & a few other necessities. Awesome! If they boosted standard internet signals inside their stores, bet they would get even more sales from all those digital deals. Lost a star for poor internet access inside, which is required to use the blasted app!”
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country.

Kroger broke ground on the Canal Winchester location on March 19 at the southeast corner of Diley Road and Greengate Boulevard.
