“I find myself going to this store at least once a day for 1 thing or another always at different time's and I can say most of the employees are very friendly and go out there way to help then you have some that seem to just not care and get rude or have a attitude when you ask a question or have a problem. The store is usually very clean there's only been a few times I've been in and it was messy. I do wish they had more stuff like the other store's I feel like they always have the same thing never any new stuff as far as home decor, make-up, clothes and area's like that. It's a nice store just wish they offered a big selection of stuff like the other store's do instead of it being mostly food, candy, toilet paper and paper towels. I really do believe this store has every kind of toilet paper and paper towels on the market but only a tiny section of home decor. They do have issues with stuff not ringing up the same as what the sales tag has on the shelf but they always fix it when brought to there attention also it would be nice if when the customer ask about a certain product they actually take the time to look into it instead of just saying they don't know, I mean if you carry a product and a customer specificly brings to your attention that it is flying off the shelf as soon as you get it why would you not order a little more nxt time instead of the customer having to ask every time when will there be more? Other than those problems this store is awesome.”
“Jane and her team are always working hard to keep that store stocked, cleaned, and organized. No other Dollar General that I've been in looks as amazing as the one in Theo.”
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.
