“The employees at this location are awesome. They are very welcoming and friendly towards their customers. I wish they could train the one older lady with the blondish brown hair and glasses at the Keelon Gap Rd location bc she needs to really learn from these employees at this location how to treat her customers. Thank you to everyone here for your great customer service!”
“Bought all my Halloween Candy here and got so much for such a little price. This Dollar tree has a soda brand I have been looking for for almost forever but found it here!!! The people are nice and are fun to talk to. The only downside is The bathrooms. They aren’t the cleanest but everything else makes up for it. If I could I would leave 4 and a half stars. But anyway, Great prices, Great Place! Highly Recommend!”
“I don’t usually expect much more than quick convenience when I stop at a Dollar General, but the one on Keelon Gap Rd. in Spring Hill really stands out in the best way. Dollar General is consistently clean, organized, and well-stocked, which makes a huge difference when you’re just trying to get in and out quickly. The aisles are easy to navigate, and I’ve noticed they’ve been doing a great job keeping shelves faced and clutter under control compared to a lot of similar stores. The staff deserves a lot of credit too. Every time I’ve been in, they’ve been friendly, helpful, and willing to actually stop what they’re doing to point me in the right direction or check on inventory. That kind of attitude makes a simple shopping trip feel a lot more pleasant. It’s also just really convenient for everyday essentials—snacks, household items, cleaning supplies, and last-minute needs—without having to drive across town. Overall, this location does exactly what a good Dollar General should do, but better: it’s reliable, clean, and staffed by people who care.”
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.

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.
