“Place is well organized, the staff there does their job. I did not like my encounter with an employee, I greeted her and smile, she did not do her damn job of customer service which was fine but I seem to be the victim of the damn hour. I proceeded to mind my business and paid. I put my phone of the screen to pay and the employee gave me and attitude as if I was d*** and said “no, there”, I smile nervously and go “oops sorry!” Because I was embarrassed because I always used Apple Pay and it’s always been on the screen and not below or has a glowing symbol where to place the phone and then she yell over to her coworker and complain about how she’s so TIRED OF PEOPLE NOT PLACING IT CORRECTLY ON THE MACHINE. Maybe if it was freaken glowing the symbol or ya had the ACTUAL STICKER ON THERE I WOULD Have KNOWN. If she would have complain about it not so rudely I would have said whatever. I to work in customer service since 15, now 21 and I’ve never felt the need to make someone felt d**** I understand she was “tired” of it but she didn’t need to overreact. Or make me felt d**** If you don’t like your job leave, you are paid to BE FAKE. YOU ARE PAID TO BE KIND. DO YOUR DAMN JOB.Overall most staffed I met are kind and helpful, they let me do my business. I would never give a place just one star just because of ONE person. To the lady who work there, please don’t ever do that to someone again, be kind and maybe next time don’t make a big deal out of something or if you felt the need to do it, do it behind close doors. You are on the clock.”
“I stopped at this Dollar General and had such a wonderful experience that I felt the need to leave a review. Jen provided amazing customer service and was incredibly kind and helpful. I was also here yesterday and had another employee help me, and although I can’t remember his name, he was just as sweet and welcoming. The customer service at this location has been outstanding, and it makes such a difference. I will gladly drive 30 minutes to shop at this Dollar General because of how well I was treated. Thank you to Jen and the rest of the staff for creating such a positive experience!”
“I love Five Below and have been to multiple locations. I like how clean and modern this one feels. Prices are great and staff are friendly. It is a bit awkward to have staff staring at you at self check out or coming over to scan things for you though. I wish there was at least one regular register.”
“Very nice store,has alot to offer :) I don't know why they would ever throw anything out because the things they throw out they could easily put a discounted price in it and that would be very usefull to them if they did that ,then their wouldn't be so much they waste and throw away.”
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.
