“Good locations to choose for shopping,good parking, good sales for every day something,changes working staff ;not high stress employed staff, occassional shopper.”
“Went for a Covid booster. This was my first time using Marc's Pharmacy. Very accessible location, and I really appreciated how nice and friendly the pharmacy staff is. Pharmacist Louis was wonderful, and so skilled that I didn't even feel the needle prick. They took me on time, and as someone without insurance, this was the best price ($120.00) that I could find for the vaccine at any pharmacy. Totally pleased with my visit and happy to have the latest vaccine version. I definitely recommend this Marc's Pharmacy.”
“Okay, lets put some things in perspective here. Why do you shop at a particular grocery store? Do you go there because they have self driving shopping karts or a personal shopper that walks with you and showers you in praise while you shop yeah thats stupid real people don't shop at places like that (that don't exist) and neither do I. I shop at Marc's because I like, oh right, the prices. I'm also in love with their closeouts section but we can (maybe) get to that later. Regardless, if you also want to share in these great prices, you need to keep things in perspective. You can shop somewhere with magic shopping karts that scratch your personal rump roast and pay $7.99/lb for Roma Tomatoes but I know for me personally I try to spend my money not like an idiot and pay much less for those instead. Just keep things in perspective and calm down all with the rage. Oh no they're cutting my meat slowly hey how about thanks for showing up to work today. That high schooler didn't give me the best service in my life yeah this is his first job and he's been carrying a couple hundred $1 canned goods and stocking them for like 7 hours and hes pretty tired and learning so maybe take a chill pill and cut him some slack? Take a breath and remember why you're here. You're here for great prices and you will get those. You can find the coolest stuff in the closeouts and get garage sale level deals. Just try to enjoy a store that isn't constantly unnecessarily updating itself and charging you for that just so they can have domes over their shopping karts outside. Oh, and this is the best place to buy your plants and vegetables and mums and pumpkins and all that stuff. Just don't wait on the seasonal stuff - if you don't get it when you see it, it's gone. Remember it could be worse - they could be check/cash/discover card only (like they used to - those were dark days). :-D”
“This is my new local store since I moved and I have been numerous times. I enjoy the employees, even when they are having bad days. I believe this store could be better managed, but it tends to be clean and organized.”
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.
