“This is one of the best Dollar Tree Stores I have shopped at. I have been to a lot but I am a repeat customer when I see other stores are not as clean, organized and the staff are professional. Easy to find things as there is common sense organization.”
“All of you people who negatively criticize these stores and complain have no idea how underpaid, overworked, and understaffed this company is. You’ve obviously never worked in retail, specifically a cheap, inhuman company that doesn’t value their employees. Guess how much the “hazard” pay was during COVID??? .25-.75 cents!!!! And the reason the stores are a mess are because the CUSTOMERS don’t care, realize, or respect the store it’s self and how hard these very few employees actually work. My advice, if you pick something up and then decide you don’t want it, put it back where it belongs and stop belligerently ripping through the originally neatly stacked and organized product on the shelves and show some patience when you’re waiting in line! You know gawd dang well that if you go to a store, especially at peak hours, you’re gonna have to wait in line, that’s what being a consumer entails. And while you’re waiting in line, maybe reorganize something that’s out of order or pick up something off the floor, it’ll pass the time and help the overwhelmed and under appreciated employees. Also quit letting your children play in the store like it’s a McDonald’s ball pit, CAUSE ITS NOT! You wanna blame ??? Call the corporate office! They’re the ones that should hear about the strife and struggle that their stores are going through! Then maybe you’ll really see where the problems’s coming from, cause corporate DOSEN’T CARE!!! Their bottom line is money, not people!!! It’s really easy to complain for all of you, but in the time you’ve taken to complain, you could’ve been a kind HUMAN and thought of an actively positive solution to the problem, instead of belittling the other HUMANS that work there. If we as a collective society can’t stop wrongfully and negatively judging others, over something that’s clearly a big corporate problem, not a people problem, then we’re doomed to fail. I wish you could all see how petty and selfish you’re being and stop bickering and blaming each other and start seeing the bigger issues at hand!! Stop passing the blame, stop projecting, stop bullying and take some accountability and time to use your heart instead of your ego and your displaced anger…Put yourselves in the other person’s shoes, get off your high horse, and stop looking down on them with malice, carelessness, shame, disregard, and disrespect and start asking them if they’re ok, or if there’s anything YOU can do to help! NONE OF US HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE! BUT ALL OF US HAVE THE POWER AND ABILITY TO CARE AND HELP!!!”
“I get my energy drinks in bulk here, good selection. Short staffed, but the employees are enjoyable and compensating considering the stress it takes to be down so many people.”
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.
