“Out of all dollar stores around Eau Claire and Chippewa falls, this is my all time favorite! Always friendly staff, everything is stocked nicely on shelves, and it’s clean.”
“This place takes all my money and replaces it with snacks, every time. In this maze of a repurposed furnished showroom, you can find good deals on everything from clothes to food to furniture to appliances and beyond...Can you find your way out? Without spending all your money? Sometimes! It's a little hit miss but always an adventure.”
“This store is the epitome of convenience and satisfaction! As Im clearing my mouth of the most delicious Girl Scout mint fudge cookies knockoffs I've ever eaten in my life. I'm giving you a 4 out of 5 stars for a couple of reasons one your little skimpy on the candy base hatches but we appreciate that cheap price. Two you have the most ornery black man who works the front counter and I didn't appreciate his attitude when we stopped through today!”
“This Dollar general provides the level of convenience and price that I have come to expect from the brand. Whether I'm at home or wisconsin they remain consistent. I must note that the staff at this one are especially friendly.”
“The workers in this particular store are incredibly friendly and helpful. They go out of the way to be there when needed even when short staffed. Special shout out to Aaron who is such a hard worker. I give 5 stars easily!!”
“This store is awesome and its only because of the staff that makes it this way!The manager david is incredibly kind and helpful always. No matter how stressful or hectic the store gets, ive not seen him break his peaceful demeanor, and the same can be said for josh ,mary,and tom.They are always kind and friendly to my son and myself .I appreciate it so much ,this is the only dollar general we visit and have for years.The store has honestly looked to be in shambles in the past.Its now very well organized and kept tidy.I just wanted to say your guys work doesnt go unnoticed.Thank you for being good hearted people.”
“Some of these bad reviews need to be real.. It's a dollar tree right next to Walmart, they're always super busy.. so what? They don't always get the items on the shelves, but you still go in and buy a bunch of stuff! ? It doesn't hinder your ability to get MORE than you want. What counts is the helpfulness and kindness of the staff that work there. They'll talk to you like an old pal if you're friendly enough your self. They're always happy to help.. There's one lady there called Irene who is so lovely, it makes checking out so quick and easy.. she never grumbles about my toddler being a nightmare, neither does the manager (guy with beard, forget his name).. They're awesome people. They don't bag ridiculously! (No Multiple bags, no 1 item in a bag ect.. They do is properly! It helps the plastic waste honestly, I have no idea why other stores use so many.).. And at last, The bathroom is clean! I don't care about the floor I'm walking on, when you realize how busy they are then you'll get it.. I care about the bathroom and thats always clean. Anyway, so long as they keep employing such great people like Irene and her manager then this store will continue to out rank the other dollar trees around.. (dont get me started on the one off of Clairemont.. It may be cleaner but their staff are a joke..LOL..).”
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.

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.
