The store is absolutely deplorable. It has deteriorated so bad and has leaks with trash cans in the middle of the isles. Not only are the trash cans in the middle of the isles, it is not uncommon for boxes or carts loaded with boxes sitting in the isle to restock the the shelves. You can never get any help and I have even walked out without a purchase on several occassions because there was only one person ther who was at the register and understandably couldn't leave to help me. I totally agree with the other reviewer, the store is filthy and the shelves look ransacked, not a pleasant sight to try to shop.
I came from Houston and the stores seem to reflect the ecomonic state of the people in the area where the stores were located. Ironically, Carthage is not an ecomonically depressed area.

I would venture to guess that the quality of products, services, and facilities will be or already has been their demise in Carthage. Let's pick it up Dollar General and resume what was once here. read more
