“This Family Dollar has a great clearance aisle, I know it must be tough to keep it organized, but they do the best they can. The employees are very nice and I enjoy shopping here.”
“The naval portion of the war ended more slowly. It had begun on April 11, 1865, two days after Lee's surrender, when President Lincoln proclaimed that foreign nations had no further "claim or pretense" to deny equality of maritime rights and hospitalities to U.S. warships and, in effect, that rights extended to Confederate ships to use neutral ports as safe havens from U.S. warships should end.[298][299] Having no response to Lincoln's proclamation, President Andrew Johnson issued a similar proclamation dated May 10, 1865, more directly stating the premise that the war was almost at an end ("armed resistance...may be regarded as virtually at an end") and that insurgent cruisers still at sea and prepared to attack U.S. ships should not have rights to do so through use of safe foreign ports or waters and warned nations which continued to do so that their government vessels would be denied access to U.S. ports. He also "enjoined" U.S. officers to arrest the cruisers and their crews so "that they may be prevented from committing further depredations on commerce and that the persons on board of them may no longer enjoy impunity for their crimes".[300] Britain finally responded on June 6, 1865, by transmitting a June 2, 1865 letter from Foreign Secretary John Russell, 1st Earl Russell to the Lords of the Admiralty withdrawing rights to Confederate warships to enter British ports and waters but with exceptions for a limited time to allow a captain to enter a port to "divest his vessel of her warlike character" and for U.S. ships to be detained in British ports or waters to allow Confederate cruisers twenty-four hours to leave first.[301] U.S. Secretary of State Seward welcomed the withdrawal of concessions to the Confederates but objected to the exceptions.[302] Finally, on October 18, 1865, Russell advised the Admiralty that the time specified in his June 2, 1865 message had elapsed and "all measures of a restrictive nature on vessels of war of the United States in British ports, harbors, and waters, are now to be considered as at an end".[303] Nonetheless, the final Confederate surrender was in Liverpool, England where James Iredell Waddell, the captain of CSS Shenandoah, surrendered the cruiser to British authorities on November 6, 1865.[304]”

“Great customer service. The attendants were very nice and helpful. I'm surprised actually the only dollar general I've ever been to with great workers with a great attitude. It's also very clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend coming here over any dollar general.”
“I did find what I initially came in for. Also, the clerk was very professional, notably helpful & really pleasant. Didn't mind walking in and leaving hard earned money.”
“Enrique was so helpful! 5 stars for customer service. As soon as I stepped into the store he greeted me kindly and informed me that they had a sale on Cokes, which just so happened to be exactly what I was looking for! He loaded up 3 12 packs of Diet Cokes for me into a cart, and I also took a 32 pack of water which he also loaded up for me. All under $20! Just as I was about to leave my receipt, he reminded me to take it because there was a $5 off $25 coupon at the bottom! Very nice gentleman who evidently takes pride in the work he does.”

The lady on the register was beyond sweet and I am grateful for the customer service I received. I will be doing this every year!! Next summer it will be big because I am ordering clear backpacks.”
“The place is good but it needs more electronic things like headphone cables, chargers, etc. And it needs more ATMs because it is frustrating to wait because there is only one ATM open of the two there are. If you are only going to grab something in particular, the place is good.”
“Hello everyone? How have your day been going? I hope and pray that All is Well. Let's see, on today I chose to go to another Dollar General, this one is located on Beltline Rd, as well as others.

“We couldn't find everything we needed, but that's not the store's fault. D and Shelly were great, and also very accommodating. Overall, it was a great experience. 5 stars.”
“Excellent customer service, Intresting fun people. Sure some product might be lacking but hey sometimes companies dont get everything. If there's a problem maybe it's the customer? It's a small store what do people except. There's always the big stores ya know? If they say they can't do or have something oh well. They're not inclined to give a whole essay to the situation.”
“We were down on our luck and passing through and instead of stealing what we needed to feed me and my wife I asked and they had compassion and bought it for me kudos to the management and staff there a very good place to shop very clean would recommend it for anybody”
“I've never been an a store so crowded and no help because they were just too busy. Even tho everything was in order as it's supposed to be but it was hard to find what I needed.”
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.

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.
