“November 2025:
Can't take carts out of building and exit door only opens partially.
Seems like some newbie manager has their guts in a twist about carts or product loss and doesn't care about how inconvenient it is for shoppers to haul a cart load of product out of the store without a cart while walking through the doors sideways with bags in hand.
Don't buy more than you can carry.”

“First time visiting this store and it was very neat and bright. It is very small and cozy. It's a split between different stores that sell decor items, small home appliances, and personal items. I really enjoyed shopping there and definitely will return.”

“Well laid out and well stocked. Friendly staff and the store was very clean. It's kinda like a Five Below and a Big Lots, without furniture, had a baby store and called it pOpshelf. Prices were Meh but aren't way too high. Worth checking out”

“Big Lots, especially on St Andrews Rd is a clean, well stocked store in all Departments, to include Name Brand items. In fact they have many of the same items at a lower price than Target. I just bought my Christmas presents for all the adults on my shopping list. They have well trained cashiers and great Managers. If you ask for help they actually take you to the item. They have updated their store in all departments. I am overjoyed to have this Big Lots close to our home.”

“This Goodwill is nice. There are times where you can find great bargains. Like most Goodwill it depends on the day of the week and selection of merchandise they put out. They have days where they put out greater things than other days, Idk why?”

“I love this store. I usually have very good experience with the help and assistance from the store employee's. And I love the store hours. I can count on being able to find most needed items day or night and the employees always know where to find a item it I can't. And they will walk you right to what you are looking for if at all possible. I'm think that is good service.”

“I've never seen more than one register open, so I'd suggest not going when they're busy unless you want to wait. But, they always have limited edition Mountain dew of the season which major plus for me.”

“Great location! Fair prices. Lovely staff and good service. The only reason I am giving them 4 out of 5 stars is because the store aisles can be very confusing. One minute you need toiletries in one aisle and then you have to go all the way to the other side of the store for toilet paper. I know I shouldn’t complain and that’s not much to complain about but it would just make life a bit easier so I can go in get all of my stuff and get out with no complaints.”

“Pleased to shop here and actually find what I was looking for at an affordable price. About a month ago I found these rubber bands at The Dollar General in my area and they have not had any for weeks. Therefore. I have driven to over 5 Dollar General Stores and 1 Office Supply store for this item. AMAZON's price was higher with shipping.Today, with the great assistance of a patient clerk, we located these rubber bands. I bought all 5 pkgs they had on the shelf.No complaints. Satisfied customer.”

“When I enter this family dollars, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a good morning smile from the associates behind the counter. The aisles were not cluttered, the shelves1 were stocked neatly. I got my items, and there was no line at the register, so I was in and out in a jip. One thing I can say about this story is everytime I go in there it's clean. There's no cart in the aisles, no problems getting around, but it's always neat.”
