Hi
Review №2

Staff are friendly, have good working knowledge of what’s in stock, and keep the store clean. I live within walking distance and usually end up stopping in at least once a week if I need something quick and easy, and almost never leave without what I was looking for!

The whole store smells awful, like dirty cat litter. It’s pretty overwhelming (even with a mask on) and made it difficult to enjoy the shopping experience. The cashiers are rude and snap at customers. I witness one yell at a man for asking for his receipt. Just an unpleasant experience overall.

I like the selection of crafty stuff.I make epoxy resin pieces and have found so many useful tools and things to use here. A little imagination and a dollar tree is all you need at times!!

The smell in this place is horrible . Really really really bad. The worse smell Ive ever experienced walking in to a store. I dont know how its not shut down. Made me almost gag.

Has great facial & skin tone products with excellent facial mask at an unbeatable price because everythings a dollar! Dont let the price fool you, they are great products for a dollar. Im very impressed & very happy & very satisfied with the products. They include a variety of mask & other facial beauty products to choose from so you are not limited by any means.

I adore this store. You can find decor for your home for a dollar cant beat that! My favorite thing to stock up on is the snacks, since you can buy twice the product for half the price than you would at like Wal Mart or Target. Im crazy about those little cracker and tuna, chicken salad combos and they are nearly four dollars anywhere else. Ive found all kinds of goodies. The clerks are usually pretty nice too. Love coming here. Especially at the end of the month and my money is dwindling lol. Cool store.

I have an addiction to this place. Every time I go, I have to look at everything. There is always new stuff all the time.On this visit, the lady that was working was AMAZING. She was helpful, friendly and personable. I know that they change staff a lot but I hope she sticks around.

Usually a good place. Today i was in line with 1 item. I noticed the cashier light wasnt on. I assumed they were trying to close that lane. I went to the next. It was taking a long time since people had carts full. So I went back to looking for something else to buy. Didnt find anything. Went back to the front saw the cashier was still checking out people with the light off. So i assume she is just a kind person. I get it in line. Again behind people with many items. She then says my lane is actually close. I get angry at this roll my eyes and get to the next lane again. Still taking forever. That cashier then goes on break i guess. But came back seconds later and said I can help someone on lane 3. While i am still waiting in the line she forced me into. WTF!

Review №29

Business hours are listed to be open until 10pm and they write in black marker on computer paper that they are closing at 7pm and opening at 10 am rather than 9am. Wasted my time coming here under the assumption that the correct business hours would be listed.

Got some great Hallmark Easter cards for .50 each. Got a purse-sized bottle of lotion, a package of Hallmark stationery, and three movie theater boxes of candy for a dollar each. Total: $7.43 with tax. A great place to get small items that you really need at a low, low cost.

Review №33

Going stick to right in the middle. As they have great selections and of course great prices as its all a dollar.The other end, you have to always call to see if they are open 1st. Hours: 9A -10P (Sun and holidays differences)They get mad when you call because its a busy store, but again, you have to as they randomly close. I went yesterday at 734p and they were closed. This happens a lot.

Wont use any other dollar store. Dollar trees are always clean. People are pleasant and I usually find what I want. They cant believe I come in with a list. They always call for a second checker. My car just automatically turns in. I cant help it. Its programmed that way. Most women want to go to Macys. But I want dollar tree!

Prices and items are really good, especially for students trying to save. Staff though not so friendly, as they left mid transition and let me rip my own receipt from the machine.

Review №37

Im a bit disappointed that the lack of masks not worn by employee s as they encage closely to customers in the isle its unfortunate to be blessed with a store that provides essentials at a price that allows many a people to keep there selves clean afford to eat and provide other things for there family as we face uncertainty and depleted incomes disregards CDC AND LOCAL GUIDLINES THANK YOU DOLOR TREE FOR ALSO GETTING AFFORDABLE MASKS ON YOUR SHELVES IF NOT ON YOUR PERSONNEL

Review №43

Love going in here for shopping. The variety of items is descent and of course everything is $1 or less. The staff are mostly pleasant but I prefer not to hear staff complaining about their job and rate of pay.The biggest drawback is that it is always super hot in this store. In the winter even it is too hot. In the summer it is unbearable.

Review №44

The staff seemed friendly to customers, but seemed to not get along with eachother. Things are cheaply made but it is only a dollar and there are lots of great little stocking stuffers or small gifts. Great for getting supplies for projects.

I give 3 stars because of the good selection of items and the great deals/prices but if I could rate the friendliness of the staff I would give less than a star. Not felt welcomed at all.

Review №51

While I dont like their return policy (you can only exchange items; you cant return them), the store does have a good variety of items, they have long hours, and obviously everything is a buck. For many things - especially party supplies or cheap toys - its a great way to go.

Review №55

The products are decent for only being a dollar. I go here to help fill my OCC box for charity every year. Some things, I chose to go elsewhere for to get better quality, but they have a good assortment of coloring books, toys, kids dishes, beads, hair accessories, etc. The bathroom doesnt have a changing table and was a little dirty when I was there, which kindof drinks when you need to change a baby asap.
