“I travel throughout the U.S. and I have never seen a Dollar General as well stocked as this location! Awesome to be able to get what I need and not find the shelves half empty.”
“Adam went above and beyond finding an item for me at the New London WI store. He called me like he said he would if they had the item. Adam is a great asset to Dollar General and should be valued by this company!!”
“Dollar General, is well, Dollar General. Its the convenience store that is a step above a convenience store. I have reviewed this location in the past. Reviews that have been both good and not so good. Dollar General like Walmart, switches the store up on you. Right now things are ok. I have also learned a big thing as it relates to Dollar General. If you ever get the chance to go to Poy Sippi WI. Or find yoursel passing through, check out that Dollar General! It will totally twist you up! I did not know this but aparently Dollar General adapts to the location its in, and the difference in competition at and perhaps 15 or 20 miles out from that location. Well, Poy Sippi, WI is like going to Mars! Seriously! Dollar General's policy that all stores be set up the same, so they are similar and familiar to the customer regardless of what Dollar General the customer visits. Well, when Dollar General sets up on Mars, where there is no immediate compettition, they have to be everything to everyone in the immediate area, the location just exists on the map! A tiny hiccup of a dot, as if to say. There is intelligent life here, AND DOLLAR GENERAL! That is a Dollar General worth a visit, a ten star store, just because of its location! Trust me!”
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.

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.
