“Very friendly and mostly helpful staff. I only wish they sold skim milk and other fat free items. They do carry one fat free Land of Lakes in blended cherry. Very yummy and flavorful. Their Clover Valley whole wheat bread is just as good as the Nature’s Own brand. It’s also more than half the price, I believe. Keep up the good work ladies and gents. They’ve got a very nice new young man named Alex. He’s very sweet and has some of the most beautiful hair many of the females would be most pleased to have. Can’t beat that: A very sweet, good looking, hardworking young man. Thank you for all the pleasant, kind individuals who work at the Rock Island, TN, Dollar General. I’m really excited about their upcoming plans to carry fresh produce. At this time, one must travel to McMinnville to purchase any fresh produce. I’m just a mile or two from this store. I know that if I had any issues here at home, they’d be willing to help me out in any way they could. God bless each and every employee of this store. I’m so grateful to know them and have them as friends.”
“I know each and every person that works at this store and let me tell ya ALL of those people work their tails off trying to do their best to keep everything stocked and looking good. They are ALWAYS willing to help every customer that goes in there find everything they want or need (even if the truck just dumped several cases of stuff on them) they will stop what they're doing and earnestly look for whatever. This store stays extremely busy. I understand they get upset, frustrated or whatever just like customers do but one would never really know it cause everyone is always extremely helpful, polite and seem to care about customers needs. These workers, employees, team players or work family members (whatever you wanna call them) care about the customers, the store and each other. How do I know? BECAUSE IT SHOWS!!!! Love love love STORE 121”
“This Dollar Tree is one of the revamped stores that carries things that are also $3, $5, & $10 items. The store is always clean, well stocked, and they are always putting out new merchandise for you to choose from. I do however wish that they would add the frozen and refrigerated sections to this location like they have in other stores. But all in all it's a great store to shop in and the associates are very friendly from my experience.”
“I love that they have cherry lemon sundrop alot of the times. It is nice to have this one and one about 10 miles down the road. Just incase, this is put of something, we can go right down the road. The employees at this DG are super nice and helpful. Plus this DG has a self checkout.”
“Only draw back I seen here, I went in on a Friday night, and they couldn't provide change for 100.00 bill. The teller was new, ( hadn't seen them before) and she was quite rude. Usually the employees are friendly and helpful, this girl acted as if I was bothering her shopping there, like I was taking her time to check out.”
“Pretty decent prices though watch the quality as some lower quality things can get through. Sizing can be varied but their one size fits all can be tighter on bigger bodies. Shoes can be pretty good, I've gotten a couple pairs and they're still worth it. Sheets, curtains, bathroom decor, and blinds have all been worth it! I don't really get their grocery stuff so I can't comment on that. Their electronics can be a hit or miss so just make sure to research whatever you're checking out!”
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. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
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.
