Dollar Stores near Albany, OR

“I stopped in here with my kids after school to kill a little time without much intention of buying anything (based on my perception of what the store was about.) Immediately I noticed the seasonal section with Valentines Day Chocolates, so I crossed that off the list. My daughter fell in love with a stuffie so I had to buy that. We browsed a little further and I found some good quality, 90 degree edge food bowls to replace some of a different brand that have broken throughout the years. Then the ice cream section for mini cones and bomb pops. Then the candy aisle that I herded the kids through since we already had ice cream in our hands. I’m always scared of checking out and the total. $20. I left with arms full of happiness and useful stuff and didn’t even need to take out a second mortgage. I’ll be back for sure! When checking out, my daughters did find the massive amount of helium balloons at the front which was very entertaining and a great distraction for the checkout process.”

“I’ve visited this Dollar General a few times to reload my prepaid card, and each time I interacted with a different employee. My first visit was great — the staff member knew exactly what to do and got it done quickly. The second time, the person wasn’t sure at first but made an effort, and I really appreciated their willingness to figure it out. On my most recent visit, the staff member didn’t seem to know how to do it and couldn’t complete the reload.

Overall, the store is clean and the staff have been polite, but I think some additional training on services like prepaid card reloads would really help improve consistency. I like shopping here and hope to see even smoother service in the future!”
