“Great deals 7.99 dollars for a 2 pack of sweatpants great deal they didn't have a really good category for shoes but they did have some good outfits and nice deals on saratoga water I guess but nice store overall”
“For fun gifts this was the place to go. Lots of nostalgic toys and collectibles. They were a hit as prizes for our Christmas games. Check out the very large collection of Keychains, too.”
“The store manager is reprinting customer receipts with the system used and making associates give 100% satisfaction scores as if they were the customer. The DM hires outside the company for ASM roles which hinders growth for the associates who actually work and have earned for those higher paying roles. The store is open an hour early and an hour later than what it used to be on Sunday's and still pay these folks $12.00 with 0.10 cent yearly. YEARLY raises. Corporate Greed at it's finest. Pay these people a living wage.”
“I visited this location today (2 days before expected temperature freeze) to pick up cat food not realizing everyone was out panic shopping. The line was long when I was ready to check out and got even longer as I waited. The lady at the register was a rock start knocking out each transaction as fast as possible, and with a positive and welcoming attitude. People like her are exactly what the service industry needs. This was at approximately 7:30pm on 1/22/26.”
“Sarah made my morning! She was so incredibly helpful and helped me get supplies ready for my daughter’s birthday party. Great atmosphere and I’ll be back!”
“This is the cleanest dollar general I have been to. And the managers and employees are very sweet and very helpful w everything. Even w making sure I put my stuff in my car w my grandbaby”
“Very understaffed. Every time I go in, you can see the one employee working has to stock shelves as well as work the register. Otherwise it’s a typical dollar general, stuff everywhere”
“Ollies is a great store! Lots and lots of stuff to look at/buy. I go in for one or two things and leave with a cart full. Lots of food stuff (great prices on spices!!), household items, some clothing, car things, even some furniture and mattresses.”
“They're usually really clean and have decent young employees that get to you as soon as they can. They do wonderful and usually are great customer service. Occasionally theres arises issue with the ac and bathrooms but its usually the city or HVAC people that are the issue.”
“The service her was the greatest of all time! Alex was such a sigma and he did not fail to nerd out with me. He really made me feel seen. He needs a raise ASAP! He really took the time to make sure that I found what I was looking for. He helped me find the cheapest items and made sure I knew how to get the best deals.”
“I shopped at the store almost every single day during my stay in new Braunfels. 8/2025-11/28/2025. I slept in the parking lot in front of their store repairing my car little by little. I’m sure they never knew that I was sleeping in the parking lot. They did get used to seeing me every day though, and they were always kind to me. I did manage to stop in there on the last day To say goodbye, but the usual staff was not there. I slept in my car and delivered DoorDash one day at a time until my car was roadworthy to get back to Florida. And that time I replaced almost the entire cooling system. Radiator, all hoses, fans , front and rear brakes, all 4 tires and more. I felt very at home and very safe in this parking lot. Nobody ever bothered me once. Of course, I was gone most of the time until I was ready to sleep. At that point, I would cover up all my windows and go to sleep in peace. This store was always clean and staffed as much as possible. It’s nothing new to most people that lines can get long during peak periods. Also…: For thanksgiving the store manager packed me a to go plate and gave it to me at the door. As well as some donuts, and juice.”
“Good place and good customer service. Sometimes they don't have what you are looking for and there are times when the coolers are busted, but most of the time you will be in and out pretty quick.”
“I found a cute little wooden tray exactly the size I needed. I painted it black and scuffed it with sandpaper. It turned out perfect for the Heartstrings Samplery stitched piece I made for a friend!”
“I went to the gas station and they wanted $9.00 for eye drops. I left and went to Dollar General and paid $4.00 for Clear Eyes. I was so excited when I saw the yellow snack bowl just what I was looking for. Customer Service was wonderful she was very friendly and helpful.”

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.

Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
