“Debbie was so kind when we walked in! My daughter and I had so much fun rummaging through all of the items. Some really great finds for an amazing deal if you go on a Thursday or Friday!”
“I’ve been into a lot of Dollar General stores and I have to say this is the nicest, well kept Dollar General I have ever been in. If you could win an award for those attributes and how nice the employees are this store stands at the top of the list and should get the award. I wish they had a six star choice because they would get it.”
“Five Below is always such a fun place to shop - theres just so much cool and random stuff to look through, and I almost always find something I didn’t even know I wanted. The person at the checkout was super friendly and made the experience really pleasant. The only downside was that one staff member stocking shelves was really rude, which kind of took away from the vibe. Still, overall it’s a great store with tons of fun finds!”
“They are working on coming back. You can tell they have significantly reduced the number of items they carry in inventory, even in the holiday decor area, Big Lots used to carry so much more decor for Halloween and Christmas. They still carry staples like shampoo, conditioner and body wash at great prices and they carry a lot more clothing than the old Big Lots used to carry. I am hoping that the longer they are open the more their inventory will grow.”
“Probably one of the cleanest most organized 5 belows I have ever seen in my entire life! I was amazed how everything was well put together and in the correct spot. Has many great snacks and drinks for a cheap price! Absolutely love this location and will come back if I am in the area!”
“When you're looking for a product at a price that is affordable. I was disappointed 1 time in the last 7 years. I didn't have enough money to buy everything”
“I had a great experience at Gabe’s thanks to Amanda! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to help me find what I needed. Her positive attitude and excellent customer service made my shopping experience enjoyable from start to finish. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about customers and takes pride in her work. Gabe’s is lucky to have her on their team. Thank you, Amanda, for all your help!”
“This location is much nicer than the Mapletown location. The meat selection alone was so much better! The store is clean and well stocked. The cashier is very friendly too! I’m making this location my new favorite.”
“Outstanding pharmacy with outstanding personnel. Super friendly Beth and Ashley are proactive: recently a family member needed a perpetual $500 monthly prescription, which is not on our insurer's list of approved prescriptions--without any request by the patient Drug Mart's great Hudson staff sprung into action and magically found a way to acquire the brand name drug for only $150. They offer a synchronization program where all prescriptions are prepared on the same day without request every month. I prefer reordering by phone which can be done in less than one minute! Make sure to shop the store-- they have outstanding prices daily and super specials that beat competitors hands down. By the way I'm a former Acme and Costco pharmacy customer. I came to Discount Drug Mart for price and stay for service.”
“I should NOT say this, but I will.....T-BONE STEAKS!!!!! Dang it, I gave away my secret. They are three to a pack (perfect for MY family size) and I can get THREE packages here for the same price that I would pay for ONE elsewhere. This store has some of the BEST meats (I don't eat pork). They also have some priced to sell meats as well (meaning you need to make them the day of purchase or the next day or immediately freeze them). Just because it says Save A Lot doesn't mean that everything is off brand. THERE ARE A LOT OF HIGH QUALITY NAME BRANDS HERE (sorry for yelling.....LOL!). I have gotten a lot of "two fors" here in the produce section. If you want to make your money go a long way, I recommend checking out their meats and other name brand items when you get a chance. You can always go to whatever other grocery store you frequent and get the rest of your food items if need be.”
“The employees are always courteous and respectful which is why I choose to go to this location versus going to their competitors where the customer service sucks!!”
“Save A Lot is very good grocery store all the stores I've been in all are very clean and always stocked up and well managed and good customer service. Thank you”
“Five out of five stars I made yellow instead of blank idk why they choose to make me fill them in but I feel as if I should be positively compensated for my efforts.”
“I lost my wallet at this store. I did not know that at the time, thought I lost it at another store before arriving there. Long story short, the guy I always speak to and is so very kind to respond and acknowledge me, showed up at my apartment today with wallet, everything in tact, I mean everything, quite a bit of cash, credit cards, important information, like nothing was moved. Thank God for this man and I am forever indebted to him even though everything was cancelled out and replaced. I can’t describe what this means to me there aren’t enough words. I have live in this neighborhood for 15yrs. This store has been my go to all these years for things like birthday bags, decorations, oils, shopping carts , rugs, electrical cords, small tools , etc.. IYKYK, simple as that. Thank you Sir, I don’t know you and you don’t know me besides our interactions as a proprietor and a customer, but you have exceeded that with your kind soul for going over and beyond. God bless you, your family, and your future endeavors!! Thank you again Sir!! Sincerely, Randolph Holcomb”
“This location actually stays open until the time listed as their closing time! How it should be! The employees are very friendly and personable, we had a great conversation. They don’t push people out near closing like most locations employees do. This DG also has a nice produce little section! Most locations DO NOT HAVE THIS. The toy section is also a lot nicer than most stores have! 10/10 would recommend this location to others. ☺️”
“Although this location has been disappointing in the past, it has new management, and it is much more organized. Hours are back to normal, too. I just wish this location and others in the area had items that are frequently seen on social media.”
“I needed a lighter to lite my candles. I remembered seeing lighters at the entrance of the store and sometimes in the paper aisle on numerous occasions. I entered the store today and NO lighters!!! I asked the cashier and she stated that they still had them because she sold one earlier and to check in the paper aisle. I went back couldn’t find it and returned to the cashier. She wasn’t there ( I assumed she had went on break) .She reappeared with a smile and told me where they were located. ? I’m today’s time where customer service is nonexistent I would like to give kudos to Ms. Chamiah . I very much appreciate her!!!!”
“again they need to revamp this store badley. its clutered you Cant walk in the front of the store where the registers are. shelvs are never stocked employees are rude & nasty.All of this has been an issue since long before covid.”
“It was okay I just wish they had there items straighten up a little bit better and the school supplies stand not stock behind the soda display when you walked in the door”
“This one on Broadway and southgate is the best the one on e143 and kinsman those young girls and that one lady Mr need to go to a class on how to talk to your customers correct. If they were in a white neighborhood they would act different I spend slot of money in family dollar.and the store on e130 and buckeye those young girl don't have any respect I raised my daughter well. But family dollar is going to lose alot of business because of these kids with attitude just look in your cameras and listen to your audio. Give that job to someone who needs it thank-you”
“This the place i go for all my in-between shopping. Certain things I just dont buy in bulk because they go bad. My vegetables are very important to me. And The store is so close. So I'm in there grabbing small items on the regular. Thx Save A Lot”
“always an interesting time shopping here, you never know what you are going to come across, lots of great deals, and great prices on groceries. The staff is always friendly and helpful. A great place to grab what you need.”
“Forgot my phone today around 3pm, the young lady at the register kept it safe and told us where we left it when my boyfriend called. Thank you! Godbless, we also found everything we needed. The rest of the staff was kind as well as we moved throughout aisles”
“Don't go there they're never open they joke around about being open and saying they are closed one worker told me to come back in a hour and they'll be open and it was 7:00 p.m. and they close at 8:00”
“Getting too pricey. Good selection. Love closeout. Each store carries different stock seemingly related to communities cultural preferences or needs. Have to run to different locales to get everything. Tired of asking for Gia Russa vendor to stock fried peppers and onions glass jar at the desk when they know customers want it buy it and it sells quickly. Make it automatic stock.”
“I absolutely love this dollar store by far one of my favorite stores even though it’s just the dollar store they have a little bit of everything and it’s just amazing. The workers are so sweet and nice. Everything’s priced good.”
“Marc's is my to-go to place for groceries. The meat selection is limited. A couple of times I purchased tomatoes, regular or cherry and it tastes like they sprayed some pesticide or some type of chemicals on the tomatoes. I couldn't eat them so I threw them away.”
“Loved this place since I was little bit yesterday I went in looking for a special biscotti but couldn't find it anywhere. It was one of those things Marc's only carries and I wasn't sure if they were our or it had just been moved. 2 different people helped me find it, one names Jill walked around the entire store to help me find it. It was super nice and reminded me why I love this place! Especially all of their season fun stuff!”
“I live halfway between the Broadview Hts and Independence locations. I always choose the Independence location because of their manager, Bryan. I went in this past Saturday and the store was very busy! The line was longer then usual due to Mothers Day being the next day. Bryan had such great customer service and was so apologetic(even though he didn’t need to be!) all us customers knew he was alone and doing the absolute best he could! It’s so rare nowadays to see people actually providing good customer service and not looking like a robot! Also, Bryan resolved an issue a disgruntled customer was having & Bryan was so patient yet very professional with her!”
“Affordable items to choose from, especially as a tourist. It’s an alternative from Dollar General. Very efficient. Also, the experience was amazing and the cashiers were friendly. For all my last-minute needs, I’ll definitely come back to this store.”
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.
