“My mom and I went shopping today and were clipping coupons and Star the manager helped us a ton! She was very helpful and professional! The store was very organized and clean! She had an ignorant customer come in today and Star handled it VERY professionally!”
“For the Muslim community in the area, there's a great selection of Halal certified meats and poultry. There's ground beef, steaks, chicken and more that have a halal certification. Great find!”
“This Dollar general store has the most pleasant employees I have ever spoken with and they are polite to a point that is almost unheard of. Always happy to use this store.”
“I rarely do this, so please make sure whoever reads this that it gets to the proper source. My wife and I just pulled the old typical ccustomer "I'll be quick and started browsing at 8:45pm" thing at 9ur local Dollar General. We have both worked retail before and know what thats like so we tried to hurry but still cut it close. There were two employees on at the time, a woman (i didnt get her name) and Eric. Before this sounds like a complaint, i gotta say, not only were they super nice and engaging, we didnt feel like a burden at all, even though they are almost done working hard on their shift. So much so, we may have even run them after 9. But i dont believe that people go out of their way enough to compliment as much as they negatively attack people with their opinions. So the reason I am writing such an insanely long review here is Eric. I'll be honest. I used to be one of those customers that avoided your store like the plague only because everything in their isnt a dollar. I know...i know....very cliche, but it's the truth. The first time i was helped by Erik, i have gone out of my way to shop at any Dollar General (in particular Paradise) because of his proffesionalism and his eagerness to provide excellent customer service to us. He has had an answer for any question, has never made any mistakes on our behalf and has consistently provided my wife and I with a first rate shopping experience on more than one occasion. I cant spend youre money for you, so me telling you to give him a raise probably isnt going to cut it, but keep your eye on him for future promotion opportunities because he is an employee you cant afford to go unnoticed for too long. All i can say is, from one fish in the ocean, Erik single handedly made your brand a household staple here and we just wanted to make sure his hard work and enthusiasm gets some recognition. Keep up the good work, thank you for your time, and im sure we will see you again.”
“I love any Dollar Store. I go there for all of my car detailing needs as well as cheap snacks for road trips. Im a big soup eater too, so I love how they sell a few different kinds and brands at a lower price.”
“Visit this location at least weekly....people are amazing...helpful....friendly....always in stock.....they go above and before customer service....Turkey Hill could learn what customer is by shopping here”
“Convenient location, with the nearest Walmart being about 12 minutes away, Dollar General is an easy stop. Store is always very clean and items are all stocked neatly. Employees have all been great as well!”
“Under new management, am extremely pleased with this store now. Everything is neat and organized and now I can finally save myself time by avoiding Walmart. The new manager JT is super friendly and I can tell he knows what he's doing. Finally got it right this time Family Dollar! Thanks for bringing back this store to my community”
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.

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.
