I returned inside of the store with merchandise that I was over charged and was told that she can only fix 2 mistakes as I would need to talk to a manager. Ok, manager was not there. I returned the next day and the sweet lady couldn't help me either because the return was giving me the 70% sale. She called her manager and the manager told me to return another day. I went back this evening and spoke to a guy that is in charge. He said the manager is gone until February...something. He began to tell me that there is nothing he can do and he don't understand why I'm getting so angry! There is a law in NC stating that you can't charge people a different price than what the tag on the product states. He couldn't help me ..the cashier said "We just work here". Neither knew the DMs number so I can get my 20.00 back....Dollar General needs to train folks on how to fix every single problem. Tonight was my 5th time going back and still no help. I will find out who manages this store and maybe even file a complaint for being charged the wrong price and being told, he can't fix it or refund my money ... frustrating for sure

2021 October 3, 110:08; So much I have already said in past reviews. The big question is what are…read moreyour expectations from a walmart? Low prices? Check. Variety of products. Check. Having products in stock? Half check. (Inventory may be impacted by shortages that impact other stores.) Clothing in a variety of sizes. Half check. (This store long catered to smaller sizes even though the vast majority of its customers locally do not wear or should i say, should not wear small sizes) For the volumes of customers the store does a decent job keeping the place clean and organized. Customer service? Fail. Well lets be honest here, people want lowest prices. That cannot happenand still have the best customer service. Of course guns are no longer their inventory, including Air Soft. They are also not restocking knives or archery supplies. So basically all hunting items. Purely political. But this has fostered a huge growth in local merchants carrying those. But otherwise still a major hub for price conscious people.

If you've never been or heard about their subs, they're definitely worth checking out. Made fresh, in front of you using premium ingredients, and made just how you want it, they give sub shops a lot to stand up to. After a quick review of the menu we ordered the Sweet Bo's Chicken Philly. The guy helping us in the deli didn't hold back, didn't skimp on the ingredients and made it perfectly cheesy even toasting it twice until it was exactly as we wanted. After checking out we decided to stop in to their small cafe area to eat quickly as we could see it was juicy and didn't want to make a mess eating it in the car. The sandwich was absolutely delicious with lots of chopped chicken, bell peppers, mushrooms and we switched from American cheese to provolone...it absolutely hit the spot and curbed our hanger. I'd never stoped at this public before, but would again, it was very well kept and clean, and I'd definitely get this sandwich again given the opportunity!

Their other olive selections - greek style, mixed with feta, and lemon based, plus their seasoned mushrooms are also delicious.

And as a perks member, I do get treats for my birthday, half birthday, and anniversary, as well as decent $2 ff $10 coupons occasionally. Service is always polite and speedy, which I appreciate. Bonus points to this location for having EV charging available. Can be nice to juice up while shopping.

From the moment we arrived, we could tell it's a place that is truly loved and cared for. The owners walked over to greet us, showing us the short-haired sheep, goats, donkeys, runner ducks, turkeys, and three beautiful Great Pyrenees dogs--all of whom seem well loved and completely at home. The owner shared that he's been here since 1992 (a former city kid who always dreamed of having a farm like his grandparents did), and that lifelong dream truly shows in every detail. When he invited us into the store, it felt like discovering a treasure chest. It's small, but packed with thoughtfully curated goodies: handmade soaps from multiple local makers, a variety of local honeys, fresh goat cheese produced on the farm, Amish butter from Ohio, Amish jams, goat-la-to (a goat-milk gelato that's unique to this farm), a variety of meats, candles made by local Boy Scouts, Christmas ornaments, and books and toys for children. What really stood out was how deeply the owner knows and loves everything he sells. He happily shared stories, explained the different textures of the cheeses, and talked through how he would cook each type of meat. We picked up some cheese, lamb, and goat-la-to--which we ended up finishing on the drive because it was so unique and delicious, like shaved ice topped with creamy milk and vanilla. We cannot recommend visiting this farm enough--not only for the fairly priced, high-quality products, but also for its strong commitment to supporting other local businesses (all the products are clearly marked with their sources) and, most of all, the genuine passion behind it. So much of the space is thoughtfully designed with children and families in mind. When we noticed the turkeys, the owner explained that they aren't "commercial"; they keep a few simply because kids enjoy seeing them, along with the runner ducks. The baby goats are brought out occasionally so visitors can pet them, and it's obvious how gently and thoughtfully the animals are treated--the goats clearly loved being petted and even ran over to us. This little farm is the what I think of when I see someone pours heart and lifelong passion into their work. Highly recommend anyone with an interest in farm animals, dairy products, or local goods to stop by and see it!!
