Inside the store is nice. Well organized and clean. But outside, you may encounter some folk with mental and drug problems. The homeless people in this area are usually harmless, but for some reason this store seems to draw very unstable individuals. One of my family members was at the store one day and the store had to lock the customers inside for 40 minutes until the police came because some man that appeared to be homeless was screaming and threatening to harm people as the tried to exit the store. Of course by the time the police got there the man had run off. I dont really go here much because of this problem. Its a concern for customers and employees a like. It seems like the store or the police could do more to stop these folks from congregating around the doors of this store. The liquor store that is right next door does not seem to have this problem. The owner is friendly but though he doesnt tolerate anyone or anything that would make doing business in his store unpleasant. He doesnt play that and everyone seems to know it.

Theyll follow you around for a dollar Arizona and wont let you browse around without sending employees that say they are following orders to find out what were doing and to tel us that theres cameras .... My girlfriend was having a bad day and she just wanted to walk around and look for little cute things and the store sent about 6 employees to confront her all at different types and different spots in the store if i could further complain to corporate i would thats discrimination

One of the best stores if youre a budget conscience shopper. Most products sell for .99 cents plus tax with the exception of frozen pizza lg size and dairy, eggs and some meat products best store for shopping for health, hygiene and home. Large selection of various foods, fresh produce, canned foods, dried soups and frozen food. Aisles of snacks including drinks, chips, and candies. Household items, many everyday products, you will save money.

This place makes it possible for people with low income to be able to buy groceries and such for their home. I dont usually come here but the concept is great. I know a lot of people with low income that tell me that these kind of stores save their lives.

This location is excellent for produce, specialty breads and expanded assortment of items. The team does a great job keeping the store clean, stocked and organized. My only issue is during peak time there are generally lines to check out.

I have been going to 99 Cents stores for many years. It is a good place to buy common household items that can be quite expensive in grocery stores. You cannot beat laundry detergent for 99 cents that costs three or more dollars in a regular store. Sometime they have good vegetables. However, some popular food items are sold at lower weights than the same item in a grocery store - and for the same price. One needs to do selective shopping to avoid paying more than in a regular store for some items. Of course, shoppers should never go to a 99 Cents store when in a hurry. Waiting lines are usually long regardless of which 99 Cents store you go to.

Excellent place for Inexpensive Groceries, I can buy $100 worth of groceries for $20-$40 depending on what I get. If I just need maybe 4 or 5 things my bill seldom exceeds $8 unless I get carried away with stuff off my list. While I find their selection of misc items and meat to be somewhat lacking, you can still save a lot of money on everything else you need. A true boon for the College Student on a budget.

Review №51

Always packed and NEVER enough registers open. I work 2 minutes away and can never get in and out of there during my 1/2 hour lunch break. Only reason I didnt give it a 1 star rating is because i still go there knowing how much it sucks and thats no ones fault but my own.

The 99 cent store is pretty cool. They sell really cool and useful stuff for cheap, but they have to get rid of the homeless people that stay around there and that smell of pee is not cool at all

I have bought everything from groceries to household items from this location for the last two years. However this review is for buying iPhone cases from the 99 cent store. I have had nothing but success finding legit cases for my iPhone 5 particularly at this location. I have uploaded some pictures of the phone with the case I am using while currently typing this review. The case is made by COMEAUX. I have seen these cases sell for close to $10 on eBay / Amazon. I bought mines for $2 at the 99 cent store. It has a grey hard outer shell made of lightweight plastic. The inside sleeve is a white rubber material that covers the phone very nicely inside the shell. It has the feel of a legit $20-$50 case you would find at a retail store like AT&T. This case works perfectly for the on the go Iphone user in need of something durable and within budget.

The store is horrible, and customer service as far as the registers being open should be more available when u have a rush going on. Not just have 1 register open, you need 3 registers at the most opened to get your customers taken care of immediately.

A wide selection of goods at a low price, its what youd expect from any other 99 cents store, but a lot bigger than most. They also offer fruits and veggies at a cheap price, but you get what you pay for with some fruits and veggies just a day away from going bad.
