The selection is good. The prices are low. The staff is helpful & friendly. Combined, the crew running the store keeps things well stocked, running smoothly & keeps things flowing in an orderly manner.:) ty!

This store is the worst! The acting manager that was there told me that the store was a mess and that corporate knows about it but they don't have any night shift for stock and they don't want to pay anyone to do the work. The store is a fire hazzard. Carts are all in the aisles and stuff is everywhere but not hardley anything on the shelves. It's really an inconvenience because I like to shop here but now I must travel to a different DG because I can't breathe in there, it's claustrophobic!

Never have anything on the shelves. All the stock is always sitting on rolling, rack type carts for days, which is hazardous especially to small children.

0 stars I went at 630pm and the doors were locked. I knocked on the door and me and six other people waited and the guy said the drawer was out and he couldn’t take anymore people sorry. To top it all off I had my toddler with me in the cold and the other associate was eating food as if paying customers were not trying to get in 😑

The staff always greets you when you walk in, but I just think at times they are overwhelmed. There seems to be an issue with dollar general with getting those cart with items that needs to be stocked on the shelves always being in the way. I think it's a safety hazard. It's not just at this dollar but at all the others ones I've visited. The cashiers are also in charge of stocking the shelves?I do think that should be they can assist if the store is not busy but there need to be someone else doing that. Am just saying.

Store shelves well stocked. Aisles not cluttered with unshelved merchandise. Hats off to the manager. Nobody asked me what I was looking for,therefore they missed the chance to offer me related items.

Staff are mostly polite and courteous. Considering covid has affected their inventory and didn't have major necessities available they were understanding in enlightenment to the patrons with concerns.

Shelves are empty with the merchandise sitting in the aisles. Everytime I go there, it's like this.A better manager and more employees are needed badly.

The lines are long but pretty well stocked. The Dollar Generals in the county are way better if we stop supporting the lousy ones in the city they will either close down or treat us better imagine that

This place never have anything on the shelf but have everything on skid's they need to be checked on by corporate immediately. They boss that run that store needs to be fired for not being a boss and work hours and not doing the work. Hey a new person to run the store. The one you have in charge is making the store look like trash.

Packed to the gills with neat stuff.. lots of food items, they accept EBT.. so much stuff the isles are crowded.. if you're in a wheelchair like me, store navigation is an adventure..

They have a good variety of things but the employees don't really care about keeping the store looking nice and a lot of times the condition of the food packages are really bad I.e. open boxes of cereal and crushed boxes of dried food stores on the shelves as if it's normal.

The employees were very helpful but the store had hardly any items on the shelves or should I say any bargain item's left

So getto. Never stocked up. Doesn't have any change for customers. Need better staff and stop hiring ignorant young girls. No help at all.

The blatant racism is outrageous. The store is never clean. Staff isn't knowledgable. You get looked at like your shop lifting all the time. Some of the food is stale.

The shelves are stocked well. Lines are long, but they moved pretty fast. I will return because they are pretty well stocked.

The store is in such a disarray....you can't find a thing you're looking for. I won't be going here again until I hear from my neighbors that the store has improved.
