Absolutely not handicapped friendly. You can no longer take their carts out of the store to take your product to the car now they make you carry it out to the car and when you got bad hips that's really hard to do. Never shopping here again. And the worst part is is I was right by Dollar general I should have went there I'll know better next time. Bad enough no handicap parking area around the front door.

I went to the Dollar Tree off Highway 6 in the Sycamore Mall and my experience was wonderful. I had trouble finding a couple of things and the staff was eager to help point me in the right direction and show me where the items that I were looking for. They're quick at the register even though there was a long line they were able to get everybody through in a timely manner and the store was very clean. I will definitely revisit this location again.

The name of the store says it all. For a store to suplly products at this price, there is definitely some tight budget. I wouldn’t expect super clean restrooms, super neat service and all. Good one for budget shopping, especially for decorating items and some household items.

I just left your store that is located at the sycamore mall. I did not catch my cashiers name but it was a soft spoken polite gentleman. There was a pile up at the register because someone wanted balloons. He paged for back up. After the 4th time paging for help and him being noticeably overwhelmed. A cashier named Brittany came up. Before we saw her we heard her yelling about being paged too much and then demanded to know what my cashier needed. He was at a loss for words probably something he can't control. and told him in a nasty tone when he wanted to speak again he could tell her what was wrong. She did open another register but had no kindness for any customers and acted like the customers were inconveniences. I know it's hard to find employees these days but with employees like that you will lose customers. I wish I had caught my cashier name. He is always polite when I end up in his line.

I love Dollar Tree. As a Nanny and a Grandma I can find so many things to entertain the little ones.Also I am always surprised by some the items to eat.The company needs to consider raising wages. They're begging for employees.

I was completely ignored at the register for over 5 minutes tonight by an older white woman with short purple blonde hair. She finally came over to the registers, STILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGING ME AT ALL, called for help and then ignored me and asked the lady behind me if she could help her at the next register. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars was for the nice girl who checked me out once she finally got to her register.

I love the selection of this Dollar Tree, the size of the store, and especially the customer service. The checkout ladies are always nice, smile, are polite, and thank me everytime I'm there. The big downfall which I've noticed increasingly worse over the months is the stores cleanliness. Strictly with my visit yesterday there was food snack bags ripped open and food all over the floor in aisle and on the shelves, trying to find hair products and it's like one of something had been opened and shampoo? was on nearly every other surrounding product (I slide aside roughly 15+ bottles to find the cleanest one and even still I had to wipe yuck off the product), just lots of empty product boxes in aisles or blocking aisle, some stacked and some broken down but still strewn throughout each aisle...most concerning however was a few various home decor vases, candle holders, that were broken in pieces and were on the shelf and floor of aisle but also in neighboring aisle where a lot of kids toys are located. Some of the broken products were plastics but some seemed like glass and were sharp enough to possibly hurt an unknowing little one just looking for a toy. Very sad, because again this is a favorite store of mine; please help make this a better place again!

The customer service was so nice, the cashier was so friendly, and helpful. Only issue I had with the place was honestly how messy the back of the store was. There was boxes and things all over the place. I do understand it though, there was like 2-3 people working that store, and it's not a small dollar tree in my opinion.

Twenty people ahead of me in line and four behind me. I am not a fan of self checkout but this store could benefit from some. Can the woman stocking not help check? Wonder how much walks out of this store

I asked the manager to get a box of freezer items so I could purchase them. First, she said she would look to see if they had them, in a few minutes. So I waited. A few minutes later, I saw her in the front of the store joking with coworkers, so I went back up there. She was at a register, and tells me that the lane is closed. I say, I was just waiting for you. She says, rudely, I am counting her drawer, so it's gonna be about ten minutes. So this "manager" wanted me to wait an additional 10 minutes after I already waited 10 minutes, just for her to tell me if an item was in stock?? I would rather drive another 20 minutes to visit the Fairfield store, at least the staff is customer friendly there...🤬🤬🤬

Very, very sad and disappointed. I wasn't thrilled when I heard they were going up to$1.25, but I understood. Today, I was dismayed to see things marked $3 and $5!! Now they are just another "dollar general", and there's one of those closer to me so, you know... Sad to say goodbye to an old friend. # feeling betrayed...

Good selection but always messy with cardboard and carts of garbage in the way. Staff members are friendly and helpful but there are never enough cashiers and it takes forever to check out. They really need an express lane for folks running to grab 2 or 3 things. I saw several people put a couple selections down and walk out instead of waiting. I almost considered it myself but I really needed 2 of my 4 selections.

I was impressed with some of the products they had out for Halloween and the have a lot of frozen foods now. It's not a bad store but they only ever have 1 employee as cashier... need to fix that otherwise you can save a lot there.

This is the correct location of Dollar Tree store. Across the street was a closed gas station

Half the time I go the aisles are cluttered with boxes as they restock shelves, and employees aren't always attentive. The other half of the time it is easy to maneuver around the store. The check-out lines are always long unfortunately. I tend to buy certain things every time I go like Lay's Stax, but their seasonal items are fun to peruse. I also like to see what books they have because they tend to have a variety (oddballs included). $1 for many products is hard to beat elsewhere ($1 gift bags, 50 cent greeting cards, $1 bacon bits, etc.).

Nice Dollar Tree. Well stocked and clean. Parking is not as convenient as most.

Love this store for everything is a buck...who couldn't love that? But, staff never seems like they want to be there which makes check-out very unpleasant. Otherwise those who stock I've never had an issue with. You get what you paid for and some of the stuff is great!

Can't go into this store without finding a dozen other things I "need", lol! Employees are extremely friendly & store is always stocked and clean. I went to a Dollar Tree in Cedar Rapids recently and it looked like it had been ransacked; SO dirty and products unstocked everywhere! I literally thought to myself, "Ohhhh, I miss my Iowa City Dollar Tree!"

The staff member named Toy checked me out. She was on the phone talking the entire time which caused her to open the wrong roll of coins delaying my getting my change back. It was extremely rude and inconsiderate when I just wanted to finish my purchase. It was a personal call by the way.

Was in line, 4 employees standing talking while one cashier was working. One was a Manager.Finally I asked cashier if she was only one working loud enough so they could see 8 people in line.The Manager went for smoke in front of store and one of other employees got another line open.When I came out of store she made a rude remark to me

The store is well organized, offers a wide variety of merchandise at competitive prices, is clean most of the time, and staff members work hard and provide a good customer service to customers. I visit this store at least once a month to buy mostly school supplies, health care items, some books, etc.

Great staff and selection, clean and well organized. Personally my only problem is that even when I only come in for one item, I always seem to find another item or two that I didn't realize I was looking for when I walked in.

I ALWAYS find things I really don't need! LolFlowers are great! I have elephant holders on the porch, I change the flowers for the seasons and holidays. Wouldn't be able to if I had to buy them from another store.

The store is okay to shop at. Seems some of the staff look depressed and complain alot. I try to understand them but fall short. The inventory is starting to get picked over. I try to limit coming here or not at all

The cashier there isn't very friendly. Over packs the bags, he doesn't wear his mask properly. Prefer the female cashiers, at least they're friendly.

What horrible service... line was extremely long with only one cashier. I watched the manager take a personal phone call and then continue to put truck away. When I asked her if there was only one cashier she said yes and refused to jump on and help. She was incredibly rude and I will not be returning.
